Is it just me or the advertised pictures look as something that I wouldn't want to put on my hands even if I had bought it?

I.e., visibly bigger than the wrists of those models and hanging loose, which is uncomfortable, and a rather long (much longer than most watches) flat segment in a spot where any comfortable wristband should be with a curved inside.

OK, seeing isn't touching, we'll have to wait for the wearer reviews for that.

I simply don't get why he has to mix this article along with Apple's view of "The company I am so fortunate to lead has long advocated for human rights and equality for all. We’ve taken a strong stand in support of a workplace equality bill before Congress, just as we stood for marriage equality in our home state of California."

And in general, I think it's inappropriate to mix personal views with business matters. No body fucking cares if your gay or what color you are. If they do, then they are not people I would want to associate to begin with. What we do care about, are your products the company produces, support, what you're doing to fix bugs, etc...

Stop bringing personal BS to the business tables. Cook is way out of line for using his position at Apple (iPhone6 in the background) as a stage to push some personal gay message about himself.
Perhaps you should read more carefully. "If you're assuming ..."

Tips About Overcoming Impostor Syndrome I Wish I Had Known
A christian is someone that believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ, namely salvation and sanctification. We come to salvation by believing Jesus Christ is God and his teachings are absolute, and that he is the Word of God, the Bible. We come to sanctification by striving daily to know God more, which happens through the indwelling Holy Spirit we receive during salvation and happens by reading and applying the Word of God in our soul, and then outwardly through our body.

Being homosexual or lusting after a women in your mind are equally damning, but rejecting these thoughts and actions and leaving them at the Cross is the message of the Bible.
My central point, as a percentage of GDP, the French economy spends 11.9% on healthcare in aggregate. The French system is user pay, government refund, based on means. The US spends 17.9%. The better question is why does the American Healthcare industry occupy such a large fraction of the American economy? It is especially interesting 47% of that figure is private spending, and that 53% is government spend. Canada has nearly 30% private spend on its healthcare, France 22%, Britain 16%. Per capita, the States spends the 4th largest amount. In very broad terms it seems to me that Americans are getting bad value for money for their healthcare system.

Canada gets this so right with {p|m}aternity leave for either parent, which levels the playing field for both sexes.

Disclaimer: I am an American who is a product of the military health care system, and thinks it is a real solution for civilian healthcare. Also, I intend to move to Canada in the next <10y. There is no free health care, but I'm happy to pay the tax that supports it if it means I won't lose everything due to catastrophic illness.
Genuinely curious as to how you came to that conclusion.From the outside looking in, they both look like they would serve similar queries.

On top of that, SO's search feature is (IMHO) loads better than Reddit's.
Google Now shows me two or three cards with articles each day. They seem to be based off of my search history so sometimes they aren't relevant and they are occasionally duplicated in newsstand but I think they're heading in that direction.
You're correct; these aren't APKs. I saw the lead dev present the project at a meetup and it appears that they're targeting games and apps developed using the Android NDK rather than standard Android Java apps.
This shouldn't be even news. Some guy says he's gay? Big whoop, it's 2014 guys.
You're confusing correlation with causation.

Sure, many article at the top of HN after often posted elsewhere (e.g. today) because they are incredibly newsworthy.

However, a HN post that people share on social media network for the purpose of upvotes is a different story.

I didn't mean to imply that the original post was not worthy in anyway whatsoever, in fact I think all of the work he is doing in the CL ecosystem is awesome and I look forward to playing around with it soon in my next CL project.

But apgwoz's general point about how we evaluate software is spot on. In general, I think benchmarks and the like have a sort of "woo"ing effect on people (in the James Randi sense), and we should probably take a few moments to reflect on that before making any major architectural decisions. :)
why "come out." Why do you feel you need to tell others you're gay? I don't feel like I need to tell everyone I'm straight.

I never understood this. You're gay, so what? What is this thing with some people feeling like they just have to tell others about their personal sexual orientation; especially in the context of business article. This has nothing to do with Apple.

If they wanted to report on Apple's equality they could have left things with the two sentences:

"The company I am so fortunate to lead has long advocated for human rights and equality for all. We’ve taken a strong stand in support of a workplace equality bill before Congress, just as we stood for marriage equality in our home state of California."

and be done with it.
Plus all good names are taken and there is no strategy for recycling unused ones - simply embarrassing.
Ok this may seem crazy, but check out Google+ again. It is a really nice mix of broadcast and communities (when you can find a good community). It won't replace your FB or your Twitter, but it seems to have a solution to this one niche.

It has the directed-edge-graph of Twitter and also really strong support for communities and pages. I know a lot of the developer communities on there are really strong (I work on Developer Relations at Google so I see it all the time).
To be honest, the author is not wrong. It does look easier than XSLT.
A couple of years ago, I was an operations analyst - my employer used USPS to deliver millions of DVDs... USPS completely depends on bulk shipping and they'll happily provide product packaging at all scales - down to the carrier route level. Urban areas get hit pretty bad, due to population density - bulk shippers get more bang for the buck. Ideally, from the postal customer's perspective, shipping costs would rise for shippers who can only address shipments to "Current resident of:" or "Our friend at:". Proof of work, like hashcash. But of course the incentive system is the direct opposite, the recipients are not the customer.
The Calvinists during the reformation were not chipping faces off statues just for shits and giggles. Old testament teachings such as practicing iconoclasm, have been a regular feature of many Christian denominations. And fire and brimstone preachers still regularly preach Deuteronomy and Leviticus from pulpits in Christian churches. The idea that Christianity can disown the old testament is frankly ridiculous, apart from in those sects where they no longer preach from it.
I never said there are no differences but those differences are more like between a Business Suite and Bikini rather than Republican Party v/s Democratic Party.

Two different OSs which have a different view of the world and catering to different needs in different ways rather than something where their success is a zero sum game between them.
> library version change affects both primary components

In my experience, it changes neither, because the interface of the library just doesn't change. Of course it depends where you make the separation. Basically, if the interface to your library is big, you either suck at API design, or you traced the wrong boundary.

Now if you happen to only need a small fraction of a sizeable library, I can only suspect the library itself fell prey to scope creep. If there's no way to import what you need, and little more, that probably indicates a problem with the library itself.

Even big libraries which by nature must make many different things can often be separated into different components. Like the SDL for instance.

---

Oh, and I was assuming we were talking about internal dependencies. Like, you write the library which will then be used in different parts of your (possibly big) project. That's very different from external dependencies, which are generally bigger, harder to freeze and harder to update.
That's the question I have. I presume they mean the speed of sound at sea level, which would most likely be many times greater than the speed of sound in space.

I agree entirely, but at the same time, I think too often people make social rather than technical decisions. Lots of stars on GitHub and a well-designed website are usually indicative of a good project -- but people put too much faith on CSS, the same way they put too much faith on microbenchmarks taken in laboratory conditions.
Twitter won't go away for say 50-100 years. Why? There is value in the name/idea in the public consciousness.

Let's not forget that myspace, friendster, and livejournal still exist. There are a lot of pre 2000 sites and brands that are still sort of a live in some kind of zombie state or another.

It's weird.
I'm not assuming either correlation or causation; I'm suggesting a hypothesis that seems worth testing and evaluating.

There's a difference in motivation between "check this interesting article out" and "please upvote me", but the ring-voting detector can't necessarily tell the difference.

If you're worried about lock-in then design for portability. Portability means using open standards rather than open source. The neat thing is that with a well-designed site or service you can switch vendors easily. Cloud is a commodity - who cares who the provider is?
I don't think so. I'm not the poster you were replying to, I don't care if he's gay, and I don't go read such lists either. The CNBC 'outing' came up either on my facebook trends or on HN, that's the only two ways I get news these days.

Not arguing against what you said, just saying I cannot win with recruiter on negotiation without counter offers.
Off the top of my head, here are 11 ways to improve your writing.

1. Vary sentence length
2. Vary sentence construction
3. Use parallel construction
4. Put emphatic words at the end
5. Read your writing out loud
6. Avoid repeating uncommon words close together
7. Write in the active voice
8. Write about what something/someone does instead of what they are
9. Appeal to the senses, mainly the visual
10. Be specific
11. Delete unnecessary words

makes it to the front page of HN, getting so much empathy and support from the community. Was the text edited after it got this outpuring of support, or are we really okay with this? Why is it still being upvoted? Why does nobody even address this? Has HN been punked?

Yes. There's a layer one patch panel inside, with 48x3 ports. 48 for the front and 48x2 for inside. Inside they have two "application" bays and in one of them is a layer2+ switching device. So it's a layer 1+2+ device in one package.
That's a cop out. In my city, the police have a specific list of things that they are and are not allowed to do with certain populations. Following those rules is difficult, because it means that they cannot intervene in many cases without following a particular protocol.

Police organizations are command & control organizations. Policemen follow orders. Give them a strong message and something to comply with, and they will do so.

The scary thing about recent developments with Federal law enforcement is that the command culture is accepting or demanding certain behavior. The ATF "Fast and Furious" debacle, various border issues, the DEA and FBI's construction of cases from illegally gathered information isn't a bunch of rogue agents -- it is leadership acting in contempt of the law.

If you hold the officers accountable, they will push back.

Can you say useful things about 'love', even though it is not well defined?

Clear definitions are not necessary to say useful things. Some rough boundaries around the term is usually enough.

In the former case, why would they be linking to HN in the first place, instead of the article itself?

HN has a basic voting ring heuristic to ignore votes from direct links to HN submissions from a non-HN referrer for this reason.

x86 actually does have jump instructions with branch prediction hints, but surprisingly modern CPUs will completely ignore those hints. Perhaps they never really caused large enough performance improvements to be worthwhile, or something.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest there probably isn't one person posting on HN that has ever interrupted a wedding to complain that all the man and wife stuff is a bit heterosexist.

Surprisingly, HN - atheists included - is both capable of celebrating people's happiness when they express views on the amazing "god-given" nature of their romantic relationships, like Tim Cook did, and disapproving of people making statements to the effect that other people's romantic relationships are wrong, like Tim Cook didn't.

Equating the two is a desperately poor excuse for an argument.
I totally agree. I think we should have "personal search engine". May be a chrome plugin or something. It keeps track of every webpage I visited and searches those pages to get to relevant information. If I view "Thai Red Curry recipe" page some months ago, when I search for the term again, the plugin should be able to bring up the same result based on amount of time I spent on the page. This way, I have access to stuff that I forgot to bookmark.
> Cool, let's just bank on the generosity of companies.

Or, how about you think about this when finding a job, and weigh the pros and cons of various employers' benefits and policies. We don't always need top-down guidance from bureaucrats in D.C. to solve societal problems.

I'd say it's good for sharing intel within communities, just not for in-depth discussion (other sites are good for that).
It's not just an FPGA, the 2x application bays support each support 48ports of connectivity to anything, at this point it's "just" a 48port FPGA implementing the worlds fastest layer 2+ switch, but it could be anything in there.
