People fail to correctly value (1) the cost of these time saving services and (2) their own time.

It's similar to how people will drive around to save 5 cents per gallon on gasoline. Usually, they will only end up saving a dollar. Or someone will make multiple trips to their car to unload all groceries (which can add significant time in apartment buildings) because they wanted to save 20 cents and not buy a paper/plastic bag during checkout. These little things add up in time.
Indeed.

Also, some of the native web views are woefully behind the times when it comes to implementing the latest HTML5 goodies (IE is notorious for it, of course, even now, but Safari is far from innocent in this respect).
They cut the blonde this year too, and the jewish stereotype.
But that particular scene is so full of political incorrectness, besides being a big sweat shop, I think if they cut all of it there would be nothing left :)

How many years until the chinese dolls go?
Eh. It takes more effort to regionally lock something on the Internet than not. Sony makes this sound like they'll go to every effort eventually to release this movie across the globe - doing that would require so much less effort than they're currently expending. When you say "wait" you're asking people to assume Sony will get around to considering them equal members of the Internet society. Or they can just assert that power themselves.

As much as I can't wait to see the movie (because I'm a fan of absurdist comedy) I'm tired of this conversation. Release it or don't, everyone who wants to see it will. Release it globally or don't, but quit acting like it takes some act of heroism to release a movie outside the U.S.
If you want internal consistency, you have to have some centralized way to enforce that, and you're back where you started.
I totally agree the example I posted is ridiculous. Let me explain why I did it.

I was a hackintosh user for years. I got an old lenovo from 2007 with an intel core 2 duo and thought it would be fun to install OS X Tiger on it. Install went smoothly except the intel integrated graphics wasn't supported.

I decided to check out System Preferences to see how much had changed in all these years. I immediately noticed this perfectly smooth animation between panels. I couldn't believe it was so slow - and with no graphics driver! So I tried it on my rMBP and it was incredibly laggy. I just quickly recorded it with my phone and thought I'd show just one small part of OS X that really represents a much bigger picture of UI performance regressions.
A good writeup on explaining the language diversity in the Korean peninsula.

What's interesting about North Korea is that they force Korean words on everything. For example, a word will spell the same in South Korea and can only be differentiated by context, intonation and use of chinese characters. Newspapers in South Korea is a good example of this as it almost requires a basic knowledge of traditional Chinese characters. North Korea seems to have none of it and has a political agenda to "purify" the language and it leads to lot of weird looking Korean words and leads to confusion.

Kaesong was also the capital a long ass time ago during the Koryo dynasty which was overthrown in a coup and Chosun dynasty was created by a general (we'll see the same thing in 1960s creating the modern ROK). The longest reigning and oppressive regime. North Koreans still refer to themselves as Chosun people and much of modern Korean identity lends from this era. The word Korea also comes from Koryo or Coree in French.
Right. Which is why Wikipedia is the way it is.
How Should U.S. Respond to Sony Breach?
https://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/sexual-assa...

There is a lot of grey in this area, and there are lots of opinions that can sway people one way or the other.

I was raped, but not violently raped. I've heard arguments from both sides. Can you imagine being a rape victim trying to determine whether they were actually raped or not? It sucks. I don't like talking about it with people outside of the internet. I've seen thousands of facial reactions to people reacting to a blank description of it, because I'm still too ashamed to describe it. Counselors aren't supposed to judge, but they do. I was called a pathological liar, in counseling, years after the rape had happened. The people you think are supposed to be there for you the most, can sometimes understand you the least. I have been argued with and screamed at over whether I was raped or not. It just makes me feel kind of dead inside. I don't have anything to say to you aside from the fact that determining what 'real rape' is, can be as complicated as determining whether witches exist or do not exist, or anything else you think is really complicated. You can't really prove it either way, and all you are really doing is convincing a group of people to think like you, without them having to be you. How many times do I have to tell myself whether I was raped or not, until I believe it? I don't really care. I just know that shit is complicated, and there aren't easy answers to anything that is complicated.
I read those comments. They're exactly what I meant by "you keep claiming this". Claiming it's so is not evidence. Perhaps you missed that in your weariness.

My question stands: Do you have any evidence for this other than your gut feeling?
> Saying just use JS directly is sort of like saying don't bother with Rails, CGI.pm has everything you could ever need.

That pretty much sums up the article's stance on frameworks. Even with reusable components, there will be a need for frameworks because just using JS/CSS/HTML directly, one would essentially be creating a framework with each application. There are standard things that a framework encapsulates in any language or target environment which will be unnecessarily repeated and sub-optimally created if one decided to start from scratch on every application. I think the author misses this part completely. While learning a framework enough to start making things in it may take a day or two, creating a new framework because one hate using frameworks will take days to weeks and still likely leave desiring functionality they had not thought of or had implemented badly.
I dug into high FPS film when I read that 24 fps were designed to be viewed in a dark theatre, when human eyes blur images due to switching between rods and cones.

Most of us no longer watch content in darkness. James Cameron is of the opinion that improving FPS is more significant than moving up from HD. I figured I should trust the professional who devotes his life to this.

To truly evaluate high FPS movies and video content, you have to watch it for a while.

The SmoothVideo Project (SVP) is pretty awesome. Needs some good hardware, made by volunteers, and needs some work to get set up well.

It struggles in scenes with lots of detail, but panning scenes are incredibly beautiful.

Going back is a bit difficult.

> I think, however, that a basic income should be enough to live, but not enough to live comfortably without savings, another source of income, or cooperation.

So here's the heart of the BI argument:

Define "comfortably"

Why is your definition correct?

> without savings

Why bother? I'm already earning a living doing nothing?

I don't need to save anything, more money will come. I don't need to worry about retirement, more money will come when I'm too old to work.

I'm going to just throw this out there, I'm guessing if I'm getting UBI I'm probably getting free healthcare. So I don't need to save for that.

Outside of a grand assumption that UBI will somehow propel everybody to the top of Maslow's Hierarchy and enough people will just somehow "self actualize" (despite all evidence to the contrary) and continue to work and support all the lazy layabouts living off the dole, what exactly is the reason I or anybody receiving the UBI would bother working?
But that someone has zero credibility when it comes to distinguishing nuances in the Korean language.

N Korea has the motive, means, and track record for this kind of thing. And please let's all agree such hacking is not some impossible rocket science. Any group of young teens/hackers with enough time could've pulled it off. Especially such a relatively easy target as sony.

Oh by the way, N Korea did launch a mid range ballistic missile (albeit a crude one).
Speaking for myself, I stopped editing because I was tired of editors being jerks to each other, not because I was running out of things to contribute.
The Anthropic Principle is conceptually similar to Survivorship Bias.

Loosely speaking, the reason we humans find the Universe so hospital to us, if that if the Universe were not hospitable to humans, we wouldn't be here to wonder why.

In reality, the vast majority of planets are completely unsuitable for life, not just intelligent life - too hot, too cold, too small, and so not enough gravity for an atmosphere &c.

Or, to speak about economic efficiency: you are focusing money on people who will spend it. Doesn't do a lot of good to sit in a rich person's bank account, but if you get the money moving, that's job creation at it's most basic.

The performance/UX thing always got me too, and I remember creating Flash content on a 500mhz P3 on XP which ran smoother than some sites these days on a mid-2014 quad-core rMBP. It still feels like we should have made more progress in terms of things /feeling/ faster over the past 10+ years than we have.

Somewhat OT, but if you've ever watched medical office secretaries, airline desk people, bank tellers, or some hotel clerks work, you'd never think of switching them to a newer computer and web-apps; their proprietary terminal stuff works nearly instantly for most things they need to do. It's sad that the best web experiences today can still be an order of magnitude slower than that.
Eh? He is not working for them.
> Additionally, the problem with police cameras during protests (at least in my experience in Germany) is that they are routinely turned off just before the shit hits the fan.

To address that very real problem there needs to be a 'missing video presumption' law. Simply put, if the police account of an encounter contradicts the citizen's account, and the police video went 'missing', the citizen's account will be assumed to be corroborated in the eyes of the law.

The other piece to addressing police abuse is that complaints need to be investigated by independent investigators (maybe federal) and indictments should not be up to local prosecutors who often have a collegial relationship with officers. If a grand jury is convened, the victim/plaintiff should have representation to make their case as well.

As we've seen in the Eric Garner case, having video evidence of misconduct is sometimes not enough.

The entire Internet is going this way. I overestimated its inherent resistance to gaming/doctoring.

For example, product reviews are increasingly unreliable. Even on platforms that require purchase, like Amazon. Meanwhile specialist sites like tomshardware and anandtech seem overwhelmed.
Sieve is the native filtering engine used by FastMail, so I'd say it integrates quite well with JMAP, from my experience. :)

Some issues have no middle ground, or at least no factually-supported middle ground. Therefore, to even address some topics, you have to take a stand, which necessarily means you alienate some people.
Are you suggesting that the bottom 90% of households are predominately headed by under-40 year-olds?

Where did that come from? Clearly, Hermel was instead suggesting that the inequality in any particular age range hasn't changed over time, and that older ranges have greater inequality than younger ranges. (This could come both from some older people being wealthier than they were when young, and from other older people being poorer than they were when young.) It is a well-known demographic fact that there are more old people now than there used to be, which fact coupled with Hermel's claims would be enough to explain increasing wealth inequality.

I don't have the knowledge to agree or disagree with Hermel, but I oppose avoidable misunderstandings.
I think it's clear that people don't value these things properly. The interesting question is why. What are the underlying heuristics and biases? I'm posing the question, but I don't have a great answer to it.

Making Music with Supercollider
Ask HN: Please help w advice about interstitial ads
We have a productivity app called Groups, which you can find at http://qbix.com/groups . People love it and it gets 4/5 stars reviews. It has banner ads on the bottom.

We want to increase our revenue and display interstitial ads in the next version. We've read how much better interstitial ads convert etc. when displayed at the proper time.

BUT we would like to display a slightly less than fullscreen version. Something not as annoying. Ideally we want to have something like this:

http://s14.postimg.org/vgq3n9pkh/image.jpg

What can we do? The ideal scenario would be if we could place a button right under each ad saying "How to turn off ads" which would lead to a $1.99 purchase we already have to turn off ads forever.

We believe that providing people with a button that says "how to turn off ads" right under the ad is less obnoxious than just showing the ad.

Which ad networks show an ad in the center of the screen but with some room around it?

Does anyone here have experience running interstitial ads and do you have any advice for us?
I tend to think that would be the case. Would be nice to get official word on that.
We've been running Hologram in production at AdRoll for about 2 months now with no issues, and we've eliminated permanent key usage entirely.

Money does not sit in a bank account, it gets loaned out to others and spent.

That's why banks offer "free checking" and other incentives to give them money.

Agreed. SL was released under unique circumstances: most engineers were working on the first version of iOS, and the remaining core OS folks had free reign to improve the architecture without management pressure to add features.
Here is a program for testing for the DRAM rowhammer problem which runs as a normal userland process:
https://github.com/mseaborn/rowhammer-test

Note that for the test to do row hammering effectively, it must pick two addresses that are in different rows but in the same bank. A good way of doing that is just to pick random pairs of addresses. If your machine has 16 banks of DRAM, for example (as various machines I've tested do), there should be a 1/16 chance that the two addresses are in the same bank. This is what the test above does. (Actually, it picks >2 addresses to hammer per iteration.)

Be careful about running the test, because on machines that are susceptible to rowhammer, it could cause bit flips that crash the machine (or worse, bit flips in data that gets written back to disc).
Wgs84 data is assumed for distance calculations. If you need to convert your data on the fly, I typically recommend proj4js.
Re-posting what I said in r/javascript. I'm digging the modularity.

My only complaint would be that some of those modules do not really need to be "turf" specific. For example, "turf-is-clockwise" would be more Unixy if it was just "is-clockwise" or "is-polygon-clockwise". This would help improve discoverability and make them nicer to use alongside other generic npm modules, like:

simplify-path, delaunay-triangulate, triangulate-contours, chaikin-smooth, convex-hull

etc.

I also think the turf modules would appeal to other uses than just GIS. They are generic enough to be useful in games, interactive apps, etc. :)
The Rush from Judgment
As someone who's had a few stackexchange questions closed for various reasons, I think one solution (especially fitting for StackExchange) would be to mandate that a moderator who closes a question as inappropriate for the forum be required to supply an alternative forum (I did get suggestions when I asked on why my question was closed).

Ie, don't just delete/close my question - give me somewhere else I can ask it - or even migrate it - preferably to another stackexchange site. It's probably why stack sites like Programmers were created.

That would defray most of the downsides of "strict rules" based rejections.
In paying for these things, you're also giving up control, possibly leisure (some people enjoy cooking), and possibly quality. It can still certainly be a win, but you're not simply comparing prices of a fungible good.
See "http://pciguru.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/developers-beware-st.... If you accept a CVC or CVC2, the requirements are much stricter, because an attacker who can get hold of a card number with the CVC/CVC2 can buy more expensive items.

Stripe works by having pages invoke their "stripe.js" within the host page. The risk of mixing payment processing input into a general site is that anything that can access the DOM can patch "stripe.js" and
tap the credit card data. Since this page is very likely to be attacked, that's a big risk here.

The page uses several off-site Javascript files. Attacks through the CDN that distributes "bootstrap.js", for example, might work.

In 2015, payment card requirements are tightening up. Sites which use third party processors like Stripe will probably have to put credit card entry into an iframe which comes directly from the third party processor. This makes the attack surface smaller.
I just bought it through Google Play with the expectations of being able to watch it offline (since Internet while traveling is hard to find!). Turns out that, if I want to watch it offline, I have to either download it to one of my Android devices or my Chromebook. I'm downloading it to my Chromebook now, but it's a damn shame I can't download it to something that actually has a decent screen.

I'd like to agree with you, but the easier than pirating part of your comment only seems to apply if you're from the US (correct me, if it's available in other countries). I'd really like to pay, but it seems I have to resort to other sources.

Besides other, admittedly far from mainstream movies did this a lot better - "Sleepwalk with me" or last years highly praised "Computer Chess" offered a DRM-free, 1080p download and a streaming option, both without region-lock and for a reasonable price. Still an exception unfortunately.
I have the 2013 XPS 15. Side by side with a macbook pro and they're almost identical. The touch pad is a bit better on the Macbook, but it's not a huge difference. Keyboard layouts are basically identical, and I like the tactile feel of both. Build quality on the XPS 15 is excellent. The only problems I've run into were driver problems that have been resolved. It's pretty amazing for a dev machine on ubuntu. The one major advantage of the Macbook is battery life. I only get 3.5 hrs with the 6 cell battery. Apple definitely has some great battery voodoo.

Anyway, I'm super happy with it as a high end Linux laptop.
