He doesn't need congressional approval -- that's exactly how the TPP has been getting negotiated this entire time -- and is exactly why it's so outstandingly bad.

Back room deals regarding IP rights (pushed hard by the MPAA, RIAA and other lobbying organizations) among many other blanketed things that the public has no knowledge of nor any say in but will ultimately be as effective as law here in the country. (so much for the legislative branch)

Yes, my statement might be a slight straw man, albeit an honest one - I just think that "being better enterpreneur", "being disruptive", being anything or having any goal implies making optimal actions to reach it, and I've projected that onto OP's statements.

In my book, it's simple - if I have a maxim "do not be an asshole", then I won't be. If I do not, but instead "unseat a corrupt taxi monopoly", then I'm bound to be an asshole in some of my actions. If I have both, they're bound to clash in some subset - there's no synergy of limitations.

And, like my thread sibling stated, paraphrased, you're bound to be marked an asshole by some anyways, whether you're Gandhi or Zuckerberg.

Yeah I find it very odd that ng-click="some_function()" doesn't throw up any kind of error if that function isn't defined on the scope (even when you click). Very very frustrating (though maybe I'm missing some setting?).
Fear of bodily harm is certainly far more acute, but it's also concentrated in time, even though it may be encountered regularly or frequently. While social anxiety is more of a chronic issue, I think it can be just as stressful in the aggregate - I did choose the word 'stressful' deliberately above.
With the amount of money they spend, I would suggest that the US taxpayer should get some value out of it.

i've written a fairly large angular app, and the ng-if case struck me as totally incomprehensible (why the hell would ng-if have its own scope ?).
Then i realized i've never had to use ng-if.

That's not to minimize the trouble you get when you first have to learn about scope inheritance, but I think ng-if may be the only completely non-intuitive directive of the framework.
(As opposed to something like let's say ng-repeat, where you sort of get the intuition that some care will be needed).

Android Studio can only handle Android projects, but gets Android features a bit quicker. Those are the only differences between CE and AS. UE adds some advanced features (web, java EE), some of which are supposedly in the pipeline to be open-sourced (code coverage, advanced refactoring).
I would love to see a comparison between Proxygen and another server (ideally nginx or golang server). The numbers are impressive, but the client is on the same box, it is a big box, and it is a simple and short response. So I'm not sure if I should be wowed or not. From reading the post, Proxygen was written as a server that would be well-integrated into Facebook tools. I don't really use Facebook tools, so I'm not sure if Proxygen would be right for me?

The money quote, for the TL;DR crowd:

"Duke Engines' 3-liter, five cylinder test mule is already making a healthy 215 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque at 4,500rpm – slightly outperforming two conventional 3 liter reference engines that weigh nearly 20 percent more and are nearly three times as big for shipping purposes. With an innovative valveless ported design, the Duke engine appears to be on track to deliver superior performance, higher compression and increased efficiency in an extremely compact and lightweight package with far fewer moving parts than conventional engines."
I've been using nightly builds for a while now and I absolutely love the new design. It's amazing!

Plus, with some of the other resolvers (downloadable at http://teom.org/axes/nightly/), you can resolve most songs even without a subscription to Spotify, Beats Music, or the Google Play Music thing.

> "well if (rotaries are) so much better why isn't it more common".

That's a complicated question with a complicated answer, but it basically boils down to there having been hundreds of billions of dollars (trillions?) spent on R&D for traditional (pison, conrod, crank, block) engines, while only a tiny amount has been spent on R&D for rotaries and other "different" designs.
The USCG has several sets of classes of ships, informally known as black, white and red hull. Black does what you say, white does border patrol for drugs and people illegally entering the country, and red is scientific and icebreaking. See http://www.uscg.mil/proceedings/spring2011/articles/10_Tlapa...
That's a common narrative, but it's not the driving force behind the drug war. Look at corruption, look at hardened attitudes on drugs, look at race, look at civil asset forfeiture, look at the militarization of law enforcement. That's where the momentum for the drug war is coming from, not so much from for-profit prison systems (though that does add a small component).
Category theory is a useful tool for understanding the syntax and semantics of programming languages, and not just functional ones. The common practice of using category theory to provide abstraction within functional languages is interesting, but not that interesting; unfortunately, it is what most people bring up, since it is so played-up by the Haskell community.

I would say the heart of computer science lies in type theory, computability, semantics, logic, etc., and category theory is evidently useful there. (I'm not talking about these things as limited to so-called "functional" languages, but rather in their capacity as forming a complete, coherent and unified theory for computation, functional or not.)

Certain other subfields of CS (the focuses of the so-called "American" combinatorial school, for instance) seem to get less use out of CT, I'll grant.
Even before EE they had a free edition of PyCharm.
The obvious question in my mind (and the reason I submitted this) is whether or not SpaceX is one of the companies Orbital is in talks with to provide launch capability in the meantime. Does anyone know if the Falcon 9 is theoretically capable of boosting a Cygnus vehicle to the ISS's orbit?

Edit: just looked at the numbers. The Cygnus is significantly smaller in volume and mass than the Dragon, so I assume now that the answer is "yes, a Falcon 9 could launch a Cygnus"
Traditional Buddhism actually says you should eat meat if it is given to you as well, and they have been vegetarians centuries longer than the hipsters. They consider wasting food worse than eating meat. You shouldn't allow something to be killed for you, but it is a waste if it has already been killed.

It will be very easy for the US to back out of or alter that treaty, for several reasons.

1) The US often does not abide by things the way most other countries are expected to. If we want to back out, nobody can stop us, there will be no negative consequences, nobody is going to embargo or sanction the US over the matter. Is that fair? Of course not, but that's one of the 'perks' of being the lone superpower.

2) Everybody else will celebrate. Most people realize at this point that prohibition does not work very well in most of the world (countries like Japan being the freak outlier due to culture; but I'd argue even they would benefit from liberalized drug policies).

3) The rest of the world wants to tear down the failed war on drugs that the US initiated. They will be eager to welcome a shift in attitude from the US Government. Now that the people of the US want to tear down the failed war on drugs, that is exactly what will happen, slowly but surely. Nothing can stop it now, there has been a fundamental culture shift in the US over the last 20 years, and once that goes a direction, there is nothing that can stop it (see: gay marriage, women's suffrage, civil rights).

> It's a big difference. A CEO answers to the board, and the board only.
>
> Sean Rad sounds something more like a President in this scenario.

Let's think this through. The board represents the owners of the company. A President is different from a CEO how? Because there are other employees of the company who can fire them? Okay, what employees of Tinder can fire Sean Rad? None. Who can fire him? Hatch Labs, because with 100% ownership they completely control the board of Tinder...

Which all goes to show that in many, many ways, a CEO who doesn't have an ownership stake in a company is very much an employee.
New to this space to trying to work out exactly how this works...

1. How are merchants charged for this? (e.g. flat fee or per points awarded or not at all)

2. How exactly do merchants benefit from this? I am assuming it's not going to influence more customers to walk through the door, and therefore the value for merchants is in the data/insights. And, if so, what are the best examples of how that helps merchants increase revenues?

3. Does Thanx collect and sell the data to third parties? (I'm just interested)
On the contrary. And your comment supports my premise. You have the luxury of being vegan.

I know I'm assuming, but like many wealthy westerners you probably travel to poorer parts of the world. Believe me, you were consuming animal protein or fat even if you were told otherwise. So what did you accomplish other than to show your elitism?

I don't think veganism is a particularly moral or ethical value. It reminds me of a conversation I was a third-party to where an American kept expressing how happy she was that a South American tribal chief was keeping to their "natural" lifestyle, while the chief kept expressing that they want schools and opportunities for his people. They were talking through each other.
Huh. I don't think I've ever before offended someone else on the internet enough to make them find and wave the shared last name in my face.
It's not like Rad's equity is nothing...

Interesting. But I still wonder how they'd fare in the long term. Would they maintain their cooperative state or devolve into mafia statism as most experiments in radical socialism seem to do.
That is a huge reason why I like to do as little "programming" as possible in templates. When something goes wrong, you either don't hear about it or if you do hear about it, you don't get a stack trace and so forth. Or, you can't find out where in the template the problem is, and instead get a stack trace full of internals of your templating library/framework.
It seems to share some things in common with the rotary, like moving the ignition chamber past the fuel/exhaust ports, rather than opening/closing valves. So it will need some way to seal the cylinder during compression/ignition... will those seals tend to break up at 100,000 miles like a rotary's apex seals?

I don't think so. I've worked kitchen jobs working 70 hours a week—so long as you don't have to think critically the entire time, it's definitely doable.
Seems like an ok 'Hello, Unikernel' article if a bit forced but her point about bots mining on AWS actually undermines her deployment strategy: the miners have been compromising AWS credentials/security NOT boxes hosted on AWS. They don't want your little t2.micro instance running a static server. They startup new c3.8xlarge instances and deploy their software.

She's still hosting this thing in AWS so she's still vulnerable and no amount of Unikerneling is going to save her from that attack vector.

Sorry for the pun and creating a verb out of a noun.

It is basically a file messenger. It's cool because it lets you turn files and links you share into one easy to read feed. So that later you would know who sent what, when and why. Think of it as a shared folder with a messenger built-in. It also looks and works great.

You can use the other core, but you have to think of them a little like separate machines. They can't share memory, but you can pass messages between them very fast (using JS's underlying Trasferale Objects)
If you can use bump/frame allocators those 'messages' can be whole chunks of 'memory'.
Think so? To me it sounds like the sort of person who leaves messes to get cleaned up by others. No need to learn the tools you're using, just shove shit out the door and let someone else worry about it!

Thanks for the feedback. Well, there are special features for users who are involved in YC, right? Name-highlighting, or specific new story queues, or something like that? An unavoidable consequence of those features is that they encourage voting favouritism.

I understand that you may not have built those features with that favouritism consequence in mind, but it's there for sure. Also, it seems likely to me that you'd consider this favouritism to (probably) produce higher-quality content hitting the front page more frequently, which I've certainly seen as a stated goal of HN (quality is more important than fairness or user preference, hence titles changing, etc). So maybe it's not a bad thing. I dunno, really.
Ask HN: Web app group chat SaaS options?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a free real-time chat widget you can insert into your web application? The idea is to allow site visitors to chat with each other. Something like IRC, preferably. Ideally with an HTML5 interface.

I could just set up an IRC channel and use something like Kiwi IRC (https://kiwiirc.com), or one of the many solutions out there using WebSockets and a separate daemon, but I'd prefer to outsource it to another provider if at all possible. I assume most of the solutions will be paid, but I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for any free ones.

Thanks.

You can cast the broadest abstractions in a categorical light, but that ignores the theoretical details that are 99% of the theory of probability/wiring/databases that is of interest to most scholars and practictioners.

That link doesn't directly get you to your quote, but a little bit of searching roughly confirmed it. However I also found this link (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/combo-vaccines/mmrv/vaco...):

Understanding Febrile Seizures
“Febrile” means “relating to a fever.” In some children, having a fever—even fever that comes with typical childhood illnesses like ear infections or the common cold—can bring on a seizure. Measles was a common cause of febrile seizures in the United States before the disease became rare due to the success of the vaccination program.
During a febrile seizure, a child often has spasms or jerking movements and may lose consciousness. Febrile seizures usually last only a minute or two.
They are most common with fevers that get up to 102°F (38.9°C) or higher, but can also occur at lower temperatures or when a high fever is going down.
Febrile seizures often result in a visit to an emergency room for the child and can be very frightening for parents and caregivers. However, most children who have febrile seizures recover quickly and have no lasting effects.

Which implies to me that the problem is MMR can cause a fever, and fevers can result in febrile seizures.

You should think really hard before trading off this risk for the increased risk of measles and mumps. Rubella I'm not so sure about (I think the #1 reason for that is to protect pregnant women).

You seem to be rather ignorant. Buddhist cuisine for example is generally vegan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_cuisine Granted, there is a fair amount of variation among sects. But it's also around 1/5th the size of Christianity so that's to be expected.

The government is the for-profit prison system.

The money made on prisons, is made by construction firms, labor that works at the prison, and slave labor used to manufacture things. There is a ton of profit being made from government prisons.

I always find it bizarre that people point to the 5% to 8% problem - corporate prisons - and think that is the problem, while pretending the huge money that circles around the other 92% - the government prisons - is benign by comparison. The other 92% is even more vile than the 8% corporate prisons - it's 11 times larger.
