Make it an insurance type of contract. Pay $9.95/mo and get your stuff back when it's stolen.
I don't hold any degree which is connected to the title 'Doctor' at all. But I have to respond to one of your points, that you take issue with people who wish to use the title 'Doctor' when they aren't medical doctors.

The term itself comes from the Latin 'docere' - to teach - and goes back to before the first European universities. The title of Doctor for physicians and surgeons is much more recent, and was actually a status-elevating maneuver. Even today, in the UK and countries that follow that system, a surgeon is called 'Mister' and a physician, who is called 'Doctor', will have an Bachelor of Medicine (MB) degree. The MD in that system is a proper medical research doctorate.

So this notion that an academician isn't a proper or 'real' doctor is quite bizarre and ahistorical, It's also unnecessary to reserve the word to distinguish those in the medical fields, since they already have a number of words that refer exclusively to them, physician, surgeon, etc.
"I was a foodie before it was cool."
well, i enjoyed it. he makes valid points throughout.
1) "free forever"

2) "we currently have enough funds to support 226 more days of hosting"

I know it's possible for 1 and 2 to not contradict each other, but it certainly gives the appearance of being a potentially unsustainable service, and thus a potentially unreliable service. If I'm going to set up an email hosting account, I'm going to want to expect it to be available for the long haul.
Amazon doesn't need Google to run a competitive app experience. The Android APIs are mostly open source and Amazon can copy them.

The problem is that Amazon is hard on developers, doesn't let them set prices, won't automatically approve new apps and upgrades, gives new apps harsh conditions, and doesn't promote developers' apps to a large user base.

Amazon could have a better user and developer experience but thinks it's Apple instead of Google. But only Apple is Apple.
So what exactly is the problem with it taking its "sweet time"? Isn't that just a way of saying it will wait until it actually needs the memory to drop the cache?

Perhaps if there was a significant performance hit incurred when dropping caches you may want to do it more eagerly.. but is there?
Right if you are using longjmp you probably want to manage memory youself.
Why not use mailgun as an alternative? 10,000 email per month free which should suffice most users
FreeBSD has made great strides in the last couple of years with binary package management tools. While there are a few things still to be done, in general if you're familiar with Debian you'll be right at home.

Regarding the reviews, I haven't been on these sites but I suppose that they would only allow buyers to make a review.
Even if sellers cheat and create fake transactions to be allowed a review, people who are not happy with the service will still leave a bad review.
So because reviews are not under the control of the seller, there is a high incentive for them to be honest.

Don't think of it as yelp, think of it as Alibaba/AliExpress.

Sellers can always cheat, but it's harder and the risks of being booted off the site if you are a crappy vendor are higher as well.

CA is useful only if it's in all major browser. If Mozilla started a CA, they'd have to convince Google, Apple, Microsoft and others that they're a trustworthy CA.

I guess it may be hard to get everybody's trust if you're running a CA as a side business.
Legalese is not my forte. Am I reading this correctly?

A woman called the police and told them that her husband, against a restraining order, came and took her children. Police did nothing. The husband then murdered the children, and a woman filed a suit against the police, saying they should've responded to her call.

The Police argued that it was essentially not their job to go after the husband, until an appropriate arrest warrant was issued, and therefore they were not at fault?

Fabulous...
Ah, well, at least Amazon and Hulu have some sense :) Looking forward, I will be using this site frequently I'm sure.
I wish insurers could pay the direct costs of having state police (I think there's statewide jurisdiction for all law enforcement agencies in WA, but WSP would certainly have jurisdiction), bait cars, and some serious resolution/retribution here.
I used to take Metro-North from New Rochelle down to Grand Central, and I miss it so much. Four trains an hour during the rush, always arriving within a minute or two of schedule. The 8:03 Amtrak between Baltimore and DC hasn't been on time in two weeks. As for the wide socieconomic spectrum--the only thing that ever bothered me about the crowd on MNR was the drunk suburban kids that'd take the 1am with me Saturday morning. Nothing like coming home from a long day at work and having some 19 year old Westchester brat puke all over the floor.
I like that... and I would use it if it allowed the voter to enter their name so I could see who had chosen which response.
Of course, I also believe everyone's clock should be display UTC...
Like-New Affiliate Network Asking for Advice from the Y Community
Hello Guys & Gals.
My name's Todd and I'm one of the founders of a new cost per action affiliate network.

How we differ from the networks you already know such as commission junction, linkshare, and shareasale is that out of our 1,500 offers they're not percentage based.

Our offers pay out a flat fee per action. To give you a clear example of what I mean with one of our advertisers Thomson Reuters they payout $600+ for every viewer that fills out a lead form with no credit card required.

At the moment we have offers direct from name brand companies you know. Such as Godaddy, Bluehost, Thomson Reuters, Instant Checkmate, Allstate, Progressive, Experian, and man gaming companies.

We're backed by over 1,000 affiliates and have coverage from super affiliates and press like the examiner.
See http://www.examiner.com/article/blackfox-affiliate-network-how-to-make-more-with-affiliate-marketing

Anyone can work with us no matter where your located in the world. We have inhouse tools developed to help you monetize your mobile applications and websites. We even have a content locker in place to make the integration process seamless.

You can signup here http://affiliates.blackfox.io/signup to start making money now. We issue payments via paypal, check or wire.

My question to the community is what other tools would you like to see available in the pipeline to help you squeeze even more profits out of your sites & apps?
(C) costs little more than an extra round-trip - a verifying call from Alice to Bob, before she acts. After receiving the message from Mallory who is impersonating Bob, Alice simply sends Bob a nonce encrypted under Bob's public key. Bob performs a simple operation on the nonce, re-encrypts it with Alice's public key and sends it back to her, thereby verifying that he holds his private key.

Or am I missing something?
Interesting perspective, I would have expected the image of software professionals in the US to be way better due to companies such as Google or Apple.

In terms of long-term potential medicine specialists are better off here, but it is not as extreme as in NA. If you are a top-tier IT freelancer, then you can easily compete with them.
Sure, of course. I haven't argued that he should be forced to accept tips against his will, that would be bizarre indeed.
I liked Eternal Flame and Clockwork Rocket, they are an interesting exploration of the possibility that the Time is an actual spatial dimension orthogonal to the other three spatial ones.

I completely agree - but I love the fact that they are transparent about exactly how long they can operate without donations.
The "effect" that you described was being unable to work at a normal speed, because you browse directories faster than NERDtree can display them. Because you can't start a text search in a background thread, and work with other files while that's running. Etc.

You know, about once or twice per day I have to do a text search through a 750,000-line codebase. IntelliJ blocks also, but it completes in 3 to 4 seconds... and Vim searches a hell of lot faster than IntelliJ. In two decades of working with vi/Vim, I've only experienced UI sluggishness when working with log files that were each hundreds of megs in size.

So to be clear, when I suggested that you might use too many plugins, that was sarcasm. To be even more clear, I was flatly calling you a liar about your original premise.

Synchronous vs. asynchronous plugin execution is not an "architectural shortcoming". It's an "architectural decision". An architectural shortcoming is something that two separate submitters can't each resolve with a single patch. Right or wrong, the Vim maintainers were given the option... and apparently made the conscious decision that the benefits of asynchronous plugin execution aren't worth the risk of plugin authors doing dumb things with it.

I do wish that they had been more forthcoming with your company in how they did (or didn't) convey that decision, but ultimately it's their call. Creating or supporting a fork is likewise your call. But at least be honest about the agenda. You guys take an active interest in criticizing Vim, and promoting NeoVim, because the Vim maintainers rejected a patch that would help your startup company integrate with them. Not because the syntax highlighter can't keep up with your Warp 9 typing.
So how would you print this onto a globe?

You don't use deadly force to retrieve the stolen goods; you use regular force to retrieve them (at a level supported by your insurer, which is far below the limits of the law), and then use deadly force if the thieves threaten your life in the course of doing so.

(Even the police are not supposed to be using deadly force to apprehend property crimes; the justification for deadly force is officer safety or the safety of others.)
So, in a nutshell the author thinks that the 'foodie' movement can't feed the world.

Perhaps, but I'm not so sure. At its heart, the foodie movement is the complex jumble of things the author mentions. Politics, art, identity, history, etc. But it's also highly supported by people with excess income. So some of this critique seems to warrant further investigation. On the other hand, many of these movements actually are dipping into techniques from a previous era and different social strata. For instance pickling, home preserves, raising your own chickens, etc. Many of these things are actually able to co-exist with urban density, and many more can be if urban planning was adjusted in certain respects.

Additionally, I think many who focus on the quality of food would argue the world can't afford to feed the future 11 billion-peopled world using current agricultural practices. Economically, cheap transportation costs prop up various agricultural bread baskets, and will likely see future disruption as oil availability fluctuates. Other places, like California, require more water than is actually locally available. Some would also question the environmental cost of modern ag processes. From pesticide use to deforestation, agricultural use is often at the core of human's environmental impact in an area.

The foodie/locavore/in-season movement all have various things to offer to this debate. Throwing such a focus out seems silly, possibly at least as silly as those who think GMO products have no part of the future equation to feeding the world.
A friend of mine in Washington DC can go down to a public park where they have movie night in the summer, and with a bunch of random people they can openly drink wine and enjoy a movie outside without incident.

Every time they have temporarily relaxed drinking laws to try something similar here like DC movie night it resulted in brawling, stabbings, street hobos showing up to scream gibberish and aggressively pan handle, and the audience got so wrecked ambulances had to be called. It's like the heavy regulations that the West Coast cities screws into society creates a community that turns to bedlam the moment those chains are temporarily removed.

> Seattle PD failed to do their jobs in this case, and should step up enforcement of possible car break-ins -- but then the next HN story will be that cops are racist because they arrested felons for having car theft tools.

There's a nice wide middle ground between these two alternatives, where the cops arrest people when there is probable cause that they committed a specific crime.
I am happy to pay for such a service:

Isn't the fall of the hard-drive music player just because phones do that? I buy digital tracks rather than streaming (particularly since the whole point of most of my music is to listen while on the Underground), but my MP3 player sits gathering dust, because my phone can do that and more.
What incentive do the police have to actually help anyone? The police chief answers to the mayor, but everyone else in the department is pretty much unaccountable. Have a complaint about your PD's conduct? Great, fill out this complaint form so that they can file it away.

Unfortunately, police work isn't really appealing to your typical idealist who wants to better his/her community, so appealing to officers' sense of morality/duty won't work. This line of work is much more attractive to former high school bullies who want to carry a service weapon and wield power. That and lazy civil servants who won't lift a finger unless it's for overtime.

And the cream of the crop, those officers who rise in the ranks and guide department policy, are the ass-kissers who figure out how to make police work easier, not more effective. This story comes as no surprise to me.
I've been lurking for a while here. In my observation, the previous consensus seemed to be that it is a bad idea to bundle hosting and email from your domain name registrar. Has this changed? If you have your domain name from Gandi, isn't it a bad idea to let Gandi host your website?

Disclaimer: I have nothing against Gandi in particular. Just curious about the prevailing convention as I always seem to be behind times...
"from an environmental point of view, density is good." The author is confident enough to gloss over this which makes me skeptical of his conclusions about any large scale impact of the 'foodie' movement.
The sardonic introduction and the fact that I initially misread his name as Alan Kay made this all the better for me, but then I came to my senses.

Alan Cox is just as interesting of a figure, though, and this is certainly a cool project. One might berate as to why we need another toy Unix, but I personally like having diverse itches scratched. Not to mention this might be an easier introduction to low-level OS hacking than having to deal with all the cognitive overhead of contributing to larger projects like Linux and the BSDs (and then a non-x86 arch is always nice).
Not always. See: 2010 Tea Party backlash to Obama.

I have been referred to as Dr before, and it is quite weird, especially since I do not have a teaching position. Some places (e.g. Hong Kong) are just more formal than others I guess.

I would find it a bit weird if a professor in college insisted on being called by a title, correct or not, especially in the US. If you want to be called "Dr." just give a bunch of strong hints (using that title on your syllabus, and in class related communications); the savvy students will pick up quickly and the less savvy students will take leads from the more savvy ones (note: no one will use your first name if they don't know it, and even if they do, they would probably not in a professional context). Asking that the title be used explicitly just smells like insecurity, and wouldn't reflect well. Although when I was in middle school in the deep south, my teachers had to tell me to use "Sir" rather than the "Mister" I was used to (being a yankee), so what do I know.
For those not familiar with the Linux kernel contributors, Alan Cox wrote large parts of the networking stack, was the maintainer of the 2.2 branch, and was commonly considered the "second in command" to Linus Torvalds at one point:

The Witching Hour (short story) (2013)
This analysis of the activity of writing a paper (and the paper that was written) are both interesting because of the dedication of Mohammed AlQuraishi to data (and evidence) driven activity.

Perhaps this will decrease rarity of someone collecting this data, and the introspection to understand the data collected.
> I was going to set up an email server on my VPS with just SMTP that auto-forwarded everything to my gmail. But this might be simpler.

Do NOT do this. Unless you're willing to make absolutely sure that no spam gets through to gmail, you will be blacklisted by gmail when it flags spam coming from your host. And not even a lot of it.

Basically, to use gmail this way you have to be almost as good as gmail at the thing that most makes gmail worthwhile. It's not worth it. Much easier to go the other way.
I get that it's hard for compiled languages and I've learned to live without one for many of them. But "a cute toy, but absolutely not important" is way, way off the mark. When available, a REPL is a godsend and has saved me personally enormous amounts of time.

Besides, there do exist compiled languages with REPLs (Haskell, Scheme, Common Lisp). Even Python has to compile the textual code into bytecode and execute that.

What does ppm or ppb mean? [pdf]
A bit about Retention and Churn
1) Is "the chain that follows this output" pulling the data, or is the data being pushed to it? If you used a pull model rather than a push model, then inputs 1 and 2 could change a million times but no computation would be executed until the "chain that follows this output" requested the latest value.

2) If you need a push model, couldn't you just use .throttle / .debounce? I feel like FRP has plenty of tools to tackle this problem.

If your worry about recomputation is about efficiency, then admittedly FRP is probably not your best choice of paradigm. FRP consistently chooses reduced code complexity at the expense of efficiency (with the assertion that mutable state / imperative code is inherently more complex in a complex system than .flatMap.throttle.etc, which is obviously debatable).

The ThinkPad click pad is an abomination. After nearly a year after regretfully "upgrading" from the IBM style to the new style... I still can't click with accuracy. Right, left - I have to make several attempts. And many times, the pointer moves during the process. I actually have to lug around an external mouse with my "top of the line" laptop. The keyboard isn't anything great, either.

Few companies have earned as much emotional hated as Lenovo has for making such junk.

Hardware hackers take note. I'd pay hundreds of dollars to replace the layout with one from an older series like the X201 or so. Just put back the triple buttons and the nice full sized keyboard and take my money.

That's a great Cracked article, one of my favorites. But one guy's perspective on a couple of cops in one specific incident is hardly conclusive. If being safety is what motivates you, there are more sensible career paths than policing.
I agree except for the fact that his concern with tip4commit is that it wouldn't exist if bitcoin wasn't available. The fact that bitcoin is what is making tip4commit to run without much regulation is Armin's main point.
I'd argue the BSD ecosystem is friendlier in general. GPL has this odd hostile attitude to it that seems to have only gotten worse of late...a feeling of preparation for war. I'm recalling Sony's presentation on why they chose LLVM/Clang [1], where they rather hated that they had to work on so much in secret, because they couldn't collaborate with the community, even though they didn't have to. Compare that to the FSF's stunts like "Windows 7 Deadly Sins" and you see the rather blatant hostility that seems to run rampant in the GPL camp.

"attempted to kill my so by chasing her around a parked car with a screwdriver trying to stab her while a bunch of sf asshole pedestrians crossed the street to avoid"

If any of them had tried to help, the police that didn't care about your so would have been plenty eager to destroy the life of a middle class citizen for so much as jostling the attacker. There's no point in blaming them when they're terrified of what the authorities will do to a do-gooder.
