Here in Portugal, I'd say subtitles are still a must if you want to reach most of the market. The average HBO show viewer has certainly a better grasp of English than the average citizen, but probably not good enough to understand complex dialog.

That said, subtitling from English is fairly cheap, especially at the current level of quality, so there's no reason to avoid it.
Interestingly, the heat for this pattern is always taken by the last comment, for some strange reason. Maybe it's the communities way of saying "Duh, we know this happens, and the way we stop conversations from going down the meta-toilet is to not have them." Although I would say it's more fair to downvote every comment that fits the pattern, to the root, rather than just the latter ones.
This is before taxes, TVA excluded, as a contractor.
Good points, I guess I did make a sweeping generalisation on the "average user" part and I guess this is how the market will always work but it just slows down innovation dramatically for the sake of making that extra penny. Sigh.
Yeah it's a bit strange, but from my understanding anytime there's a job post that requires a formal application, it's due to a crazy high volume of applicants and/or lack of proper staff to handle the volume.

I've found more success through other channels, such as LinkedIn, or approaching in person through a conference that a dev/representative from that company was attending. This latter way you create a rapport, and helps you show that you are willing to give the extra bit of effort.

This comment is totally on point and I'm immensely enjoying the frustrated reactions in the replies to it.
A bunch of troll accounts were created to comment on this and related threads. We've banned them.

It's good to see that their comments were all downvoted before we got to them.

Lapham's Quarterly is another example of print never going away (though it may become a niche one day like vinyl records). Their attention to physical detail in paper, ink and illustration gives each issue a tangible value that's hard to replicate in the digital world no matter how "interactive" you might make it.
This looks great. Now all I need is a database abstraction layer, any recommendations?

Ansible recently started to support Windows: http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html

I haven't used it yet on Windows, but it's good enough on unixes... And it's quite lightweight and easy to setup (it relies on python2 on *nix and powershell on windows)
Edge case 1: You're the first to send them a message!
Edge case 2: They just deleted everything in their inbox.
Edge case 3: They have a particularly polarizing outlier property (e.g.: a very intense fetish for something most people would find disgusting).
Edge case 4: Some quirk (or maybe even a bug!) of OKCupid's matching algorithm is pushing that user far far down in most people's priority / match % lists.
Edge case 5: OKCupid's matching algorithms are functioning well, but the person is just that peculiar of an outlier in that algorithm that there's just very few active users who are going to be matched well with them.

Just off the top of my head. And then consider that, by the context, they probably meant anyone who hasn't had a new message in a while. Yeah.

TL;DR: Lots of good reasons.

Life hack.. sick of food trucks at office
Im sick of the food trucks at our office.... has anyone created or found a platform for either on-demand food trucks, or for advance planning the arrival of food-trucks depending on specific days of the week or time? I think a really simple algorithm based on orders and times of day and days of week, could help predict the profitability for the food trucks... but mainly getting my belly full with what I want when me and my employees want it....

Anyone have a comparison with the Z1 Compact? Trying to decide whether I should regret recently buying the Z1C, despite knowing the Z3C was days away from launch. :P At least it was cheaper, and already supports CyanogenMod. Though I could have had fun helping port CM to the Z3C, too.

With the exception of automatically grabbing the token, it's pretty much the same as BYU's SAW[0].

Agree, there's no choice. Everything you find today below 5" is budget phones that are so slow and have such a bad screen that they could almost make you vomit. It can't be impossible to make smaller phones fast and with high dpi, a few years ago all phones were like that, take iphone 4-5s, nexus 4 or htc 1S as example. I've been thinking it's better to buy a high end old phone than a small new one because there simply aren't any high end small phones to buy. And by small i don't even require super super tiny, just finding something slightly below 5" is very hard.
He's right, in all the branding in all the promotional materials that I've seen, they use 0xF8FF.

I looked it up, 0xF8FF () is the Apple symbol. If it renders as a square/rectangular box on your computer, it's because it's trademarked and a logo, which means you need an Apple font to render it. (Which I/you don't have, because Apple fonts only come with Apple computers.)

No, its not, any more than using a regular remote as a remote is.

> Having to walk to where your phone is charging to change the channel is a bad experience.

Yes, it is, but that's not fundamental to the Chromecast, its just bad app UI design (for instance, you don't have the same issue if you are tab casting a regular web page that provides the selection before getting to the streaming media). There's no reason that an mobile app that uses the Google Cast API can't have a similar [or even better] optimized casting UI to a dumb tab-casted web page, its just that most so far don't. Extending the line of Google Cast devices -- if it extends reach -- may indirectly improve this, by getting app developers to spend more effort on the UX of their Cast support.
You find 9-10" is insufficient for reading material?

True. When Steve Jobs died the Steve Jobs era ended. Your pointless comments cause my eyes to bleed. Maybe someday you'll get to run a company worth several hundred billion dollars. But until then, let's try not run someone else's from Hacker News.

> Doesn't everyone understand at this point that 7-8" is the right size for a tablet?

I've grown to loathe the Nexus 7. It's got a nice weight and feel to it from a hardware perspective but it feels too tall/thin in portrait and too short in landscape. I'm much more likely to pick up my older iPad instead. The performance of the 7 (second version) was also very disappointing. I'm actually interested in seeing the Nexus 9 not only because it fits me a bit better being a bit bigger but by going to 4:3 I think some of what I hate about the 7 will be eliminated. That being said it doesn't have enough storage so I probably won't get one.
Your way of putting it implies that these two are equivalent in being "unfortunate and problematic", which in my opinion is a severe misrepresentation of the situation.

In your opinion then, what's a better way to present it? I'm trying to look at this as broadly as I possibly can without getting strung up in highlighting granular, "this instance" and "that instance" responses, effectively coming across as a 'single issue debater'.

We shouldn't use screen size as our only measure though. The iPhone 6 is a 4.7", but is quite a bit bigger than the 4.7" Moto X 2013, and about equal in size to the 5" Nexus 5 [1].

Apple uses a bit more bezel on their phones, so in physical dimensions they are closer to some of their Android competition than you might think based on screen size.

Ask HN: What are the 30 subtypes of image/video sharing?
Came across an old startup ideas post by PG. In it he mentions photo/video sharing.

http://old.ycombinator.com/ideas.html

"There may ultimately be 30 different subtypes of image/video sharing service, half of which remain to be discovered."

Does anyone have any idea what those are, or how he even got to the number 30?
It signals to me that revenue has more perceived value than profit. I agree with this philosophy if the company uses the forgone profits to pursue risky but potentially rewarding ideas similar to the way Amazon has. I don't agree with it when the "idea" is a device with features they withheld from a previous release in an overcrowded category that they already dominate. That is not to say I don't like the idea of a cheaper iphone -- cheaper iphones can be a great gateway drug to the apple ecosystem. Its the 6+ or 5s that Im talking about. I expect a lot more from a company with $160 billion on hand and with the reputation of Apple's.
The conspiracy theorist voice in my head says this isn't a coincidence.
hahaha. Let's say that optimizing the new OS to an old hardware might not be one of Apple's priorities.
This being said, the OS gets more complex over time and more graphical features are added so I can not run just as smoothly as it does on a new terminal.

Android is a particular case.
It has been designed to run on any hardware and recent iterations of the OS are focusing on making it run on low end devices, so there are good chances that it will run relatively well on a Nexus 4.
The Nexus 6 not having a high-speed camera sensor is really disappointing. I was hoping Apple and Google would eventually break down the high-speed / slow-motion camera market, because industrial applications cost well into the multiple thousands of dollars for cameras not much better than the iPhone 6 with the only exception being that it is PC-controlled via software.

Frustrating.
Phones with larger screen's generally have better battery life than phones with smaller screens. Look at the iphone 6 vs 6+ for instance. Increasing the screen size leads to disproportionately more room for battery since most of the other components dont get bigger as the screen size does.

I agree that we are at a time when battery life should be prioritized, but I would prefer that to come from thickness. Increasing the thickness by just 25% or so would allow a much larger battery.

Nine Thoughts on an Unbundled HBO
Right, but a large majority of the 80% of men and women finding each other have done it for millennia without the need for dating apps. In general, dating apps have a higher percentage of traditionally "unappealing" users than the real world, for obvious reasons. Because males are generally the aggressors, in the sense that they compete for attention from females (from an evolutionary biology perspective), obviously there will be more males on dating sites. And if there are a) more males on dating sites, b) more "unappealing" users on dating sites than the real world, then it follows that there will be a lot of unappealing males on dating sites. Not exactly a winning proposition for women.
Although I'm a Python/Django developer by trade, I can't stress enough on how much book has helped me. As an undergrad college student, completely detached from industry this book showed me how to use version control, how to write tests and most importantly, despite the steep learning curve of setting up and getting stuff running, how the end result of perseverance is extremely gratifying. It made me fall in love with technology all over again. This is the book I redirect all my friends to who want to start learning programming / building stuff.

Thank you Michael!
There's no simple standard one, but there are a lot of solutions. The most basic is that MS Word can open two files and show you the differences.

Then there are various "document management systems". Sharepoint has a lot of features for revision tracking. There are multiple Salesforce based solutions.

So there are plenty of products in that market. I don't know if any of them are good. Sharepoint usually works well if you're already using Active Directory.
You're talking about a company that bitterly clung to the 3.5 inch screen for years before capitulating to the demand for larger screens.

I'm sure Apple does market research, but they've proven to be very susceptible to their own dogma.
yep, a 5 inch HD display and 20 real (screen on, 10 apps running + Wifi/3G/GPS) hours of battery life - that would be perfect.

Having held an Xperia Z Ultra in my hand, I'm pretty sure I'll never want more than 5 inches of screen space, and double mega quad resolutions are useless at that size IMO.

> Oh, the same Anita that previously got caught with making fake death threat against herself

Being accused of something does not equate to "getting caught" doing something.

> the standard feminist tactic these days.

[citation needed]

> Anita is a talentless hack

She's consistently putting out a large volume of well-sourced content with a relatively high production value. You can argue that she cherry picks her sources (she doesn't) or that her conclusions are wrong (they aren't), or even that she's an ideologue (she is, but that's fine). It's a pretty hard lift, though, to argue that she's not competent and unerringly professional.

Who is successfully riding on the back of an enormously successful Kickstarter campaign. Kickstarter doesn't publish demographic information on the gender or profession of its donors, but a lot of people showed a clear interest in exactly the

> by whining about non-issues and nonsensical "violence-games-games-causes-real-violence" type of arguments.

As far as I can remember, none of her videos argue that "violence-games-games-causes-real-violence". Instead, they seem to be arguing that certain types of violence are problematic in and of themselves. You don't have to agree with this assertion, but at least have the decency to engage with the argument she's actually making.
Long term you'll have a radio with a battery in your pocket/bag, a wireless bluetooth headset that you issue voice commands to for a lot of things and then another small display either on your wrist and/or in front of your face. You might have a larger dumb display as well; I'd expect eventually those would be flexible, activating some sort of electromagnetic skeleton tentpoles to hold the shape when needed.

On a tangent, is there any fundamental reason that reactors are always built to drive turbines rather thermocouples - do they simply not scale up to the amount of heat a typical reactor puts out, or what?
I've found I flip my phone around less with the N5 compared to other phones. The little white earpiece thing gives both a tactile and visual cue.
I cut the cord 3 years ago and regularly pay 2 dollars an episode for shows I want to watch. I own several rokus and pay for prime, hulu (occasionally) and netflix (occasionally). I have never been happier with my tv/media consumption.

Hulu is the only thing I would like to replace... I have no tolerance for ads... I'd pay more to get rid of them. I don't know how anyone watches regular tv (unless it's with a DVR).
There is no testing of whether a disabled feature actually gets disabled. The only openssl test cases that exist are explicitly to test that a feature works, not that it doesn't work.

The 'test' directory of openssl is just a big pile of giant C programs and shell scripts which make up the test cases, and a lot of the features and options are piled together, and there's no documentation. There isn't even an indication of which test case fails when one does fail. I don't see how anyone could get an idea from this of whether a feature works as expected or not, or how many regressions you might have between releases or after new features. As is typical of openssl, it's a big mess.
In what country do you live? In the US, I assume that 10-15% of adults are carrying a handgun wherever I go, and I feel perfectly safe with it. In some states, like New Hampshire, I think it's probably more like 1/3.

Just because a kid wants more chocolate does not mean you should give it to him. It may make him happy at first but is not good for him in long run.

What are people/me saying here is that, we should/can achieve the same functionality with smaller phones. We should.

In hundred years, people will laugh at these phones!

Too big considering what it does and provides to people.
It is possible though that though earlier attempts failed because the computational resources and the plasma dynamics modeling available at the time were not sufficient to design such a reactor.

I would guess that we have a much better understanding of plasma physics and faaaaar greater ability to model it now - that could lead to designs that can mitigate previously discovered issues with the concept.
The idea sounds good but the landing page is still very raw. The logo is cool, I would extend the use of the logo colors to the rest of the page.
People use their phones for everything but phoning now. Ballooning screen sizes are just a reaction to this.

> I would expect it to bench pretty much the same as the Shield Tablet.

It's not the same chip as in the Shield Tablet (which has an ARMv7 CPU). The GPU is the same but the CPU is the 64 bit Denver CPU (ARMv8). According to benchmarks should be a fair bit faster, especially in single thread execution.
