First discrepancy I found was the first search I ran (LHR - SYD one way Mon 3/11) but I'll try to give a more helpful general case answer.

- Consolidators [that you don't have commercial relationships with] have wholesale arrangements with airlines allowing them to sell tickets below the direct/GDS price. I suspect you're more reliant on ITA results than many other portals or meta-search sites and their prices are trivially easy to beat on competitive routes if you have a broader range of partnerships.

- Some consolidators put together logical itineraries not bookable via GDS or even direct with the airline. As an extreme example I once bought a cheap, logical pair of connecting long haul flights with Saudia via eBookers that Saudia's website wouldn't allow me to book at any price direct with them; I'd guess the airline didn't want to market anything involving a 5 hour layover in an under-redevelopment terminal in Riyadh. There are plenty of less glaringly obvious potential indirect itineraries that consolidators (potentially including Kayak as well as their affiliates) can identify with Innovata's minimum connect time file and schedule data[1] and other providers might have a more liberal view on reasonable connections than ITA

- Sometimes other sites' metasearch results' advantages are purely illusory, based on outdated results they've cached or screenscraped. I find Skyscanner LCC prices are frequently out of date, even though the actual ticket price is also usually cheaper than ITA's. Other sites might also create the appearance of more choice by not combining codeshared flights into one.

As for LON-SYD on Monday Kayak has a lot more results under $1000 than you. It's possible their much cheaper ticket prices with SIA are outdated or geolocation specific, but the cheapest flight they show (a Garuda two-stopper that's no more obviously agonising than your cheapest result but 10% cheaper) doesn't show on your engine at all. Then again, the price with Kayak had risen to only 5% cheaper than your best price when I started the booking process...

According to Google (which cites USDA) for "espresso caffeine" and "coffee caffeine", there is 64 mg of caffeine in 1 fl oz of espresso and 94 mg of caffeine in 8 fl oz of coffee.

So per unit volume, the espresso has several times the caffeine (and you would already expect a double espresso to have more total caffeine than a modest sized drip coffee).
To be fair it is only in the last 200 years that teenage boys were not working harder than we can even imagine. Take a look at the 'workhouses' in the UK at the start of the industrial revolution. Children worked and worked hard. There was no time for frivolity. People died young and it was hard to put food on the table. If anything cats, feral or not would be happily hunted for a little extra meat.
In terms of complexity, the software I'm developing in Meteor has a lot of moving parts (animation, physics, artificial intelligence, and hardware integrations) and Meteor has handled it all tremendously well. In terms of user scale, I haven't had much experience, due to the nature of the project. It has made our development team tremendously happy, and provided a tremendous amount of flexibility compared to other approaches we've tried in the past including Objective-C and Java.
It's pretty high though. For example, unlimited 10mb/s in a month is over 26TB.

I'm not sure what you mean by "assuming the sidecoins aren't being used up by miners somewhere". Could you go in to detail?

What do you mean by "different sidechains picking different forms of payment?".

Doesn't all of this basically guarantee that the mining rewards of Sidecoin need to be exactly matched to Bitcoin? If so, what's the point of sidechains at all?
I work in security and have been running into more and more issues with these types of Torrent streaming services. People at work mostly know that downloading a BitTorrent client, seeding, leeching, etc. is bad but they have no idea that these streaming applications are doing the same exact thing behind the scenes. They just see it as a way to watch free movies. Keep your employees informed about this and tighten up your policies because DMCA laws apply.
tl;dr It's not pretty enough.
Weird iOS Scrolling Issue Using AutoLayout
Implementing Swift's Hashable Protocol
The living standard was never abandoned in the first place, and W3C's HTML5 is basically a fork of the WHATWG living standard.
Phonegap development is still phonegap development, even with Meteor. That said, I built a prototype chat app and deployed to iOS in about an hour. It really was that easy, and the app runs terrifically well. The "write once, run anywhere" mantra is a little more real with Meteor than with other approaches I've used before.
We Can Change the World by Saying No to Plastic:
In the case described, there is no promotion logic.

The replicas will try to reconnect to their original master forever unless something else (like Sentinel) redirects them in an actual failover/promotion setup.

So, the master had data, it died, it restart with no data, then the replicas immediately reconnect. If the master had persistence enabled, it would have reloaded the old dataset on startup and the replicas would have re-downloaded everything—since they are replicas of the master, they will always prefer the master data over their own, even if the master is empty.

If you were in a strange case where the disk failed and you replaced it with an empty disk (is that what you mean by "fresh disk?") then it's the same as starting an empty dataset. Not entirely relevant since the server would be intentionally started empty after a maintenance action instead of just restarting the already-populated process that restarts as empty because there's no saved dataset to load on startup.

The "all replicas resync an empty dataset" is a logical consequence of the configuration they enabled, but one without obvious repercussions without either directly experiencing it or a longer multi-chain thought experiment. (but, fixes for such things are already on the way—soon!)
Is Digital Advertising Ready to Ditch the Click?
Founder/CTO here.

We've put our hearts and souls into this business. It's been an amazing 1.5 years and I'm very disappointed. We still have so much to offer, but cannot.

I still believe that Bitcoin is fast and affordable way to transfer and store money over the Internet. I'll open source the many of the tools we'e developed for the business in the hopes that it can help another startup.

Thanks to all of our customers, everyone in the team and the crypto currency community.

Do not know if my team is accepted or not, but either way we are going forward with our idea.

A way to help everyone focus and improve, especially, ADHD, depression, and anxiety without any negative side effects.

Further, we accomplish this via an improved method of reviewing EEG data, which we intend to patent this winter. Hopefully, this can improve medicine overall.
I recommend Gandi (https://gandi.net) for TLDs namecheap does not support. Both companies are extremely good, no-bullshit, against censorship, took a stand against SOPA, etc.
The "running from a single box" at the end seems like it could be the most important part of the equation. Would you agree? Or rather, would that be the recommended place to start optimizing if your app runs into scaling problems?
No browser ever paid any attention to the version of the HTML specified. The only use for DOCTYPE—and the reason it remains in HTML5—is "doctype switching", i.e. different rendering modes are triggered in the browsers. You can use "html", "html5", "html6.2" or "foobarbaz" as your doctype, the effect will be the same—they will all trigger standards compliant mode.

First of all - absolutely love meteor. Couchbase/CouchDB support would be fantastic! More (NoSQL) database support would be fantastic. I worry that it's so MongoDB specific now and the "scale" technologies are MongoDB specific (Oplog tailing only) that adding other databases in the future will become a lot more difficult.
It just doesn't look complete. Could be cool (and useful for Apple) if they released a "Material Design"-like resource.
Here's the official blog post announcement for Meteor 1.0: https://www.meteor.com/blog/2014/10/28/meteor-1-0
This makes no sense. With the OOM killer disabled, the kernel shouldn't hang when memory allocation fails; it should return -ENOMEM. If something isn't handling that correctly, it needs fixing. In particular, if something in the kernel doesn't handle that correctly and propagate -ENOMEM back to userspace, it needs fixing.
That doesn't even make sense DMCA notices aren't secret, in fact exactly the opposite. They're designed to inform someone of copyright infringement and allow them to take action.

Honestly unless the host got threatened to served with a warrant, then the host is likely responsible here for much of this situation.
The data isn't reactively loaded in realtime, but Meteor itself is still reactive. What I mean to point out is that even if you're depending on say classic JSON APIs, the meteor app within itself can still do reactive-features (templates, local collections, etc). And depending how you implement things, you could still take advantage of push capabilities for your data from a legacy endpoint.

But yes, I agree, it's not ideal until a SQL adapter is available.
I wrote it for the Parallax Propeller, which is slow at doing divisions - so I tried to keep those to a minimum (one, which isn't too bad).
Its easy to call 'condescending' when you simply feel inadequate. Read that strictly: its not condescending if you are actually inferior (in understanding or education).

Functional programming is important, and about real structural things. It can take a long runway to understand why its different, then more learning to get any facility with it. This is not a problem with the languages; some important things are hard and that's just a fact.
I'm not sure how "Popularity" counts as a reason unless you are a high school student. Also, on my i7 MBP Retina with only 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD I notice no lag whatsoever, even while running a VM and two browsers. This strikes me as an extremely long-winded whine, similar to what you hear when Facebook makes any UI changes. Revert then, and be done with it.
It doesn't, this is a separate coding platform. If your coding platform is Rails, you don't integrate Django into it.
At the very least the kernel should sleep interruptably.
[Not the op] Meteor is extremely easy to deploy.

Disclaimer: I think Meteor is fantastic.

Never really had an issue - I can't say the same about rails! Obviously Meteor has the advantage of being younger and so less cruft has built up, but I'd bet on it still being insanely easy to deploy 4 years from now.

The Meteor team is doing an awesome job spending the VC money on making an experience that is fantastic for devs. Major props to Geoff et al.
Noone is having a conversation.

Incorrect. There is active conversation happening everywhere, on both sides. Popehat, for example, has had two thoughtful pieces on it. Other places have published good writeups as well.

"seek to attract applause or favorable attention from spectators or the media." Whenever Anita Sarkessian says anything, she gets harassed and threatened.

Put bluntly: negative attention is still attention. More constructively, note that she is garnering applause and favorable attention from a lot of people, especially the media. There are many articles celebrating her critiques--which is quite alright! So, no, I don't think that grandstanding is an inappropriate verb. I also don't think that grandstanding is only done by people in the wrong.

To think that she just seeks attention instead of actually caring is grotesquely absurd.

I never said or implied that, and that is a wonderful false dichotomy you've used there. Where she cares is orthogonal to whether she seeks attention.
I just checked "reduce transparency" option and that's enough for now.
Wow this is crazy, I have had the exact opposite experience with Yosemite. It's faster, much better looking, and finally removes some of the horrible skeuomorphic warts that had been on the OS for a long time.
Looks like Siracusa was right about Mavericks becoming the new Snow Leopard as the "last good OSX".
Total layman question here, but how does an avalanche diode work?
Ah.. adding additional alphabetics annihilated an apex alliterative accomplishment. Also, acerbic and assholish annotations always abate awesomeness and aren't appreciated.

("Always avoid alliteration?" An arrogant and antiquated assessment.)

:)
The issue was not latency of the replica but the logic used when restarting. It's just a configuration bug.

In a distributed system, some nodes can act like a cache and others like a persistent store.
Except when they consider the original title "click baity" and change that too.

I've given up on trying to come up with what I think is the most useful title to HN though, or on trying to guess what the mods will do. I just use the original title and let the mods change it if they want. If I think the original title isn't good at explaining the main point of interest from a HN view, I feel sad, but oh well, that's clearly how HN wants it.

It might be convenient if HN had a tool like reddit to automatically fetch the title from HTML given a URL. In fact, if they had such a tool, I'd expect HN to maybe actually mandatorily make that the title and not allow you to edit it, since it seems to be HN editorial preferences not to let submitters write titles.
To be fair, the actual quote refers not to Meteor development, but to the realtime platform built for Asana in 2009:

"People just wouldn’t wait around for the application to sync each change with the server. So before they even began coding the actual task management features, Schmidt and company spent months building their underlying framework. It was hard. “This is a challenge up there with building Unix or Windows,” Schmidt says."
React v0.12 Released
Quick semantic cleanup: Redis has two types of persistence: snapshot persistence (RDB) and journal persistence (AOF). It sounds like they tried only snapshot ("copy the world") persistence, found it to increase latency, then turned it off. It probably would have been okay with journal persistence.

Their setup would have been fine _if_ the master never came back up. If the master didn't restart, then something in their infrastructure would have probably started using the replicas for data (and/or they would have promoted one of the replicas to be the new master, then the other replica would replicate from the new master).

But—having persistence on the replicas did allow them to copy the dataset off to backup storage. Then they were able to restore the old data when it was needed. So, we can prove their setup was persistent since they lost all their data and recovered it. :)
Seriously, why would I let an advertising company in my body?
Even at "especially large scale" there are things that can be done to support unique scale cases, including swapping out database drivers and other components that don't work as well as you might need.

Although this may be corrected in 1.0, single page applications in Javascript like this (whether in Angular or other tools) tend to underperform in SEO (Or not perform at all). Meteor has a sort of hack that handles SEO at the moment, but it's not particularly terrific.

Meteor's database support is presently focused on MongoDB exclusively. Expect relational and other data stores to have improved support in the near future. If you were starting a project that depended on a relational database (Postgres, MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, etc.), Meteor would probably be a poor choice today. For many use cases, however, Meteor is terrific in my experience.

"Master, what is knowledge?"

"When you know a thing, to know that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to know that you do not know it -- this is knowledge."

I don't remember where I read that, but I like it.
One of the dozen checking in. The taco bell drive-thru person that gave me the whole spiel this morning was confused when I asked if they had an app for windows phone.
Show HN: Govalidate – use struct tags to embed field validation
This is cool, but Firefox still feels a lot slower to me than Chrome.

I think Mozilla would get a lot of mileage out of improving the performance of the rendering engine. FF doesn't feel slow because of JS, it feels slow(-er than Chrome, at least on my Mac) because repaints and layout seem to take longer.
I'm sure others will find this reminiscent of the Minecraft in-game sounds, which makes me wonder whether they have similar logic to create on the fly, or just a pre-recorded looped audio file.

I'm assuming the later due to resources.
Could add validation for other types, etc. Simple for now. Leans on reflect for everything. See test code for simple example or go here http://play.golang.org/p/rV4FGc5iMh

Step number one:

Create an awesome framework that people want to use (Meteor started out as a travel guide site, I believe, and other YC batchmates wanted to use their web framework)

Step number two:

Keep building the web framework

Step number three:

Raise money to keep building that framework, with a partner who believes for the long term

Step number four:

Keep being awesome, and become the tool that a ton of devs want to use

Step number five:

Monetize with your own enterprise support and hosting
Not only not a lot of regret, but it really is a chilling comment for its implications. A single brigade-sized unit is something like 4,000 soldiers. So coming up with a multi-brigade-size unit could be twenty thousand veteran American contractors with, like you said, administration, special forces, covert intel ops, and all with recent combat experience.

The brazenness of Blackwater/Academi has always amazed me.
oh, of course. that makes sense. thanks.
I recently changed my internet provider to a small ISP based in my state. Partially because they had good prices, but also on principle, I'm tired of giving my money to companies that are so incompetent/evil. I think more people need to start doing the same if they can. They ONLY way these companies will really change is if we stop giving them our money.
I've noticed no lag either. However I see the same black box around the Volume animation popup. I just felt Apple sucked there - a company that I loved for design and for details making such a mistake?

Adding to that, I've owned two Mac's over a period of 3+ years and never once have they crashed. But today Yosemite just shut down all of a sudden. I've lost my confidence on Yosemite.
It seems to me you are confusing how humans think and how the physical world is governed. Humans may make shortcuts that have evolved through evolution, but the physical laws need not have anything to do with that and may in fact be better described by abstract mathematics. I do not agree that speculating about god makes this any easier to reason about.
Because that would be you exercising the freedom to use your phones as you wish rather than being locked into the walled garden by the OS manufacturer.
You realise that's a terrible score, right? :-)
It's powering huge infrastructures as we speak; Twitter, Airbnb, and many others: http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/powered-by-meso...
Agreed with some respects (lack of contrast, saturation choices, and so on). I have trouble telling the difference between something I'm just not used to, and something that will be changed in either 10.11.0 or 10.10.2.

That said I already prefer Yosemite overall to Mavericks and wouldn't go back.

Other criticisms I can't agree with. The removal of the starry background in Time Machine? Calendar icon being too thin? (agreed on Mail's icon though).

With those cosmetics out of the way, we come to the performance section. I'm just not seeing it, on a 2012 Macbook Air (I think this should count as a middle-of-the-road performer in the Mac lineup). I suspect there's something wrong with the graphics driver with respect to the writer's hardware.
Because it's the world's rarest water lily.

I'm hoping they can incorporate something for weight lifting too. It'd be awesome to chart your growth in a more intuitive way rather then just using Excel.
Benchmarking NSQ
Deployment depends on where you want to run it. Builds into tarballs that can be deployed pretty directly onto EC2 or other hosting services. It does require a VPS or equivalent system (LAMP hosts won't run Meteor). I understand Heroku can be a little more complicated as well. That said, Meteor's self-hosting option is pretty good for getting started, and Amazon instances run it very well.

Also +1 on the Major Props to the Meteor team. They are a model team.
Because the package manager is much more comfortable?

Ask HN: Yum repository hosting options?
I am in need of hosting a few yum repositories. The problem is this gets expensive fast with regular hosting providers. I have been looking around for providers who offer this, and so far only found one. I need around 100Gb, and low CPU and memory.
So you're saying it's perfectly okay to behave poorly towards people with lesser understanding or education? I'm pretty sure people can tell the difference between those who are speaking at a level that is too difficult for them to understand, and people who are actually condescending.
Like the tango, it takes two to interconnect. It's a bit biased to say ISPs fail to provide broadband speeds. You could easily say L3 or Cogent fails to provide it's subscribers the transit service they are paying for.

ISPs are rightly a little pissed that Cogent, for example, takes Netflix's money for transit service then hot potatoes the data right onto the ISP for the ISP to transit to the end customer.

Remember, Cogent is being paid to deliver the content, but they are contracting to carry more data that the interconnect can hold. Now you could say the ISP should just let them expand the interconnect, but that is no excuse for Cogent overselling their own capacity.

Interconnects have always been a wild west.
