The resources listed here are geared for prototyping that allows rapid iteration of designs and ideas. From electronics prototyping (Tempo Automation) to mechanical (Fictiv). Having been to Shenzhen for manufacturing, it is absolutely great once you get to large volume - you can't beat the robust ecosystem anywhere. For initial runs of designs (quantity 1-10 of something), TIME is absolutely key: dealing with Shenzhen takes extensive communication and long lead times for each production run that a startup or even a big company can't afford.
Don't forget bioactivity / toxicity ;) Ti implants are popular because of the metal's low bioactivity amongst other desirable properties.

In the name of competition and architectural flexibility, perhaps the io.js team will be more receptive. :)

AFAIK, though, V8 is so tightly integrated into Node core that a third-party library, NaN ("Native Abstractions for Node.js"), was created to improve API compatibility for Node binary addons:

I'm always leery when I see absolute numbers like that bandied about without qualification of when someone decided they were a good idea. If someone actually spent some time and figured that out in 1995, that doesn't really mean the same thing as in 2015, just from inflation (the simple inflation calculator I just looked up and used shows it at over $7500).

And that's ignoring all the other things that may affect the automotive industry over time, such as different regulations causing different materials to be used which can greatly affect how long the cars from that era may last. I own a car from 1973, I'm in no way confident that the same model car in 2015 will still be drivable in 40 years.

Why Growth Hacking Could Be Killing Your Startup
EDIT: Lots of downvotes for saying that there are other ways to program apps besides doing everything on the client. Render content on the server, enhance content presentation on the client.

---

I don't get it. Is this 1996? Why are people just now 'discovering' that you don't need to throw JS at an application to have it completely usable?

> All modern websites, even server-rendered ones, need JavaScript. There is just a lot of dynamic stuff you need to do that can only be done in JavaScript.

Really? Look at Linode, Amazon, or even Google (including GMail, and probably others). All of which are big names that can and do work ENTIRELY without JavaScript.

> Client-side JavaScript applications are damn fast.

Another (AJAX) HTTP request + rendering the returned data on a tiny mobile phone is faster than one HTTP request for the entire webpage and having dedicated machinery pre-render the content for you? I don't think so. He does talk about this point later on, but which is it? Client-rendered JS apps are, or aren't fast?

---

JS Hipsters offloading rendering everything to the client for absolutely no reason is the 'everything-looks-like-a-nail' or the 'everyone surfs the web like I surf the web and has my specs' problem. Worst of all, in doing so, they completely neglect actual content. You don't know how many million-dollar VC-funded company webpages I've visited that don't even have a damn tagline visible on their landing page without JavaScript enabled. <h1>s with actual content inside of them are too complicated now?

The solution is very simple: render all the data on the server, and progressively enhance subsets of your app with JS, by overriding the defaults of the rendered page. It's literally like we're discovering DHTML all over again.
Yeah it was. At the risk of waxing about old history, when we demoed the first large vocabulary speech recognition system back in 1984 it ran on a bunch of IBM mainframes. Within two years it was running on a PC with some special purpose cards. Today much more powerful recognizers run locally on smartphones. We have always found we can shrink something down once we solve the basic problem, and it is important not to let computational limitations prevent you from seeing the best solution.

Nothing.

Nothing is in place to stop basic income from causing housing prices to raise, and is one of the reasons we have food stamps and medicare instead of basic income.

Housing is a good/service with a price that is set by income-elastic demand. If you push up the income across the entire market (as true basic income would), then the price of housing and cars and other goods with income-elastic demand will increase. People who couldn't afford housing before wouldn't be able to afford housing still.

There are plenty of income-elastic affected goods that will increase increase in price to match or even exceed the amount of basic income per individual. Once you dissect the problem that basic income is trying to solve, you can address those needs individually without raising income for the entire population.

My solution was to buy another clunker when I was in the financial position to be able to afford having two cars. It hasn't stopped running yet, the real challenge will be convincing the wife to let me keep it after it does stop running.

Absolutely. At Other Machine Co., (https://othermachine.co/) our volumes just aren't big enough to go to Shenzhen yet. Not to mention the fact that the upfront costs require significant upfront capital investments. That's why we make a product that lets companies (including our own) prototype PCBs and other parts themselves.

The importance of simplicity; a rant
In this world, market segmentation is a thing. By moving people from segment to segment, you are very much changing demand.

So I submit that your assumption isn't really valid.
Oh, I see. I hadn't recognized that fyl2x was a microcoded instruction. Looking at the page again I totally missed the footnote and he's completely right.

However, for FMA I assume that they break the FMA instruction into two uOps that have to be issued back to back to the same execution unit. The changes to the reorder register renaming logic would be just too painful otherwise, especially since Intel uses a unified scheduler which also handles the integer ops.

EDIT: I suppose that I tend to forget about microcoded instructions since none of the instruction sets I've worked with directly has really had them.
@tomdale,

I think you're conceptually correct (server-rendered apps don't replace your API/data server); however, it's just as misleading to say that a server-rendered app replaces your CDN.

Instead, server-rendered apps add a new tier (if you were serving your app from S3 before) or replace an existing tier (your old app server). The kinds of people who needed a CDN before will still need one, and your API layer should not be tightly coupled to your app, esp. if you eventually want to support a native app or a developer ecosystem. So you end up with:

- Data layer/API server: exposes your data to a client in a RESTful way

- Browser: a client (one of potentially many) that presents data from your API in an interactive way

- App server: a node/io.js server that renders your app to HTML and sends it to the browser. It optimizes for search and slow devices without duplicating your app logic. This role was previously filled by Flask/Django/Rails/PHP, though sometimes conflated with the data layer.

- CDN: makes your media that doesn't change often highly available and lower latency. If you needed on of these before you added an app server, you probably still need one.
Well, not all 300M are adults - I would assume this hypothetical program would only give to people past a certain age. And I don't think it'd be $30k - it would probably be just enough to survive, but not enough to live a lifestyle you'd enjoy. Maybe it'd scale a little with your age, so you don't end up with a windfall on your 18th birthday.

I'm not sure how'd you account for different costs of living in different areas. But I think the number would be closer to $20k.

Also, it could just be an untaxed amount, no need to muddy things up with that.

It's still a big chunk of money: $4-5T. But You could cancel out a lot of existing services if this was implemented. We're spending $1.2T for pensions ands $0.5T for welfare [1], so some of that could go towards this. But yeah, that's still a lot of money. Not sure where it'd come from. Maybe start with a low amount and scale upwards, hoping to reap some economic benefits from the improvements?

The Growth Show Podcast
I just had fun writing a goofy ruby script to rot13 this comment thread: https://gist.github.com/dpritchett/bfa3423dcab85ee46ddf
umm.... No. It's not just some "mindset". There's lot of factual evidence to show that college degree is clearly and positively correlated with higher lifetime income. E.g.

I just don't get this guy. He is trying to thoughtfully mock some reflection, but it just show him as an alien from different planet.

Yes, there are people who have to rely on $500 cars. Yes, cars sometimes broke down, people have to walk, freeze whatever. And yes, you should do maintenance even on cheap used cars. And yes, if you buy junk you should probably change some critical parts.

And no, it is not a privilege to own this sort of car.
HubSpot just launched a new podcast all about growth and I thought that the HN community might dig it.

It's all about growth -- growing a business, growing a movement, growing an idea, etc.

Upcoming guests include the founders of Tough Mudder, Indiegogo, Blue Apron, Ministry of Supply, Tom Tunguz, the CMO of Slack, the head of growth at Airbnb and more.
I thought the author was trying to ingratiate himself with people who use "privilege" as if it were an actually smart thing to say, even though he mocks those same people ("Normally I consider the use of the word 'privilege' in a conversation to be the brilliant peacock plumage that identifies a third-rate pseudo-intellectual from ten paces away").
We want feedback on all our services. If you are speaking about using data to update the service, I know the speech services do not yet have this capability.
I like the looks, too! Looks to me as if iPhoto will eventually be replaced by Photos (though I believe I remember the announcement was that it would not?) as it wraps most of its functionality and has a nicer look. Maybe makes sense to have Photos (lifestyle) and Aperture (professional) as two apps with a clear focus for each one.

I'm just missing some statement on how the performance is, especially since we all have like several hundred GBs or even TBs worth of pictures nowadays. It's only a preview with screenshots though...
Blogged: Switching to Linux
Yes, I totally agree. Sorry if that was confusing—I was trying to simplify the diagrams and perhaps oversimplified.

You would of course still use a CDN for any static assets. Only the HTML that changes would be served by FastBoot, and of course you probably want to cache certain responses from that as well.
WHy can't I click-drag after selecting an article?
When I came in here, there were three top-level comments and all of them were variations on "I drive a late-model used version of a reliable car with relatively low miles and it's never broken down!"

I would say more than half of the people commenting here either did not read or did not absorb the message of the article.
Correlation isn't causation, and 20 people is a tiny study.

I imagine people with early musical training are wealthier on average, and wealthier people are healthier.

T can be part of depression but not the entire issue. I also found out a had sleep apnea which impacted my ability to think, my depression level, energy levels, etc. Normally if I am on T shots I am completely fine. If not I am up and down emotionally. If a doc isn't doing what you want you fire them, like you did, and find another.
Great post but taking your Twitter example why not make a full HTML version like GMail does so you don't have to scrap the client side stuff? Also so you don't have to build a framework specific server library like Fastboot. I feel like Fastboot is a more sensible solution than lets say Meteor.js; however, it is still about solving issues for a minority of your users who are on slow internet and older devices.

If your really using slow internet and old devices than the experience is still going to be slow no matter what you do unless you really strip things down. So just make multiple experiences that are really good instead of one 'meh' experience.

With that said, Twitter made the right decision at the time because their client side implementation sucked on all machines not just the old ones.
The question is, have you asked for compensation? And, there are plenty of devs at those evil VC-backed companies that give a lot in terms of open source contributions. Those millions of dollars aren't being used to buy private jets; they're paying salaries to devs just like you.
So, it wasn't a donation, but Snowden that kept this developer going? I'm freaking out a little thinking this implies you can't buy dedication or even good software. Donating is a good thing of course, but it doesn't solve this really disturbing meta-problem.

> HIPAA and similar laws don't codify whatever we think is good computing practice today.

No, but that's what implementing regulations usually do. HIPAA regs mostly don't include minimum technical standards (most of the security minimum standards are procedural).

> Congress would have to re-write the law any time GCPs change

Well, sure, if the minimum standards were written into the statute, which is why they are usually in the much-easier-to-change implementing regulations. The guidance under the HITECH act in effect did some of this for HIPAA PHI, as it created minimum standards for PHI to be considered "secured". But, generally, there's not much there, and its very difficult to make a solid case that any particular technical practice is necessarily a violation of the HIPAA Security Rule.
As someone who tried to sell a $2000 Honda Accord one time for $1200 (to get it out of my driveway before I started getting angry letters from the HOA), I agree. It's tough to find a buyer in that price range that has cash, or at least a check that will clear. Pretty much everyone that looked at it wanted to make payments to me for the car. And no, I wasn't going to chase them down every two weeks for my $100.

edit: Wanted to also point out that banks won't lend on cars that old or cheap or decrepit. Someone in that position who needs a car to get to work, has no option but to pay cash.
Crowdsourcing America’s cybersecurity is an idea so crazy it might just work
Watching the bar on the GnuPG homepage is pretty encouraging. Since the article was written, we've donated nearly €30k more. It looks like the problem was that people hadn't heard about it, not that we're all too selfish to donate.

I just chipped in $25.

Edit: Over €10k more in the hour since this comment. It's now 2/3 of the way to the funding target.
I don't think it would be hard to use Kubernetes with Powestrip and Flocker. I and Luke worked on integrating Weave with Flocker together last week, and Powerstrip makes it really quite simple. There is not much that would get on the way of Kubernetes, if it moves a container, Flocker will move it's volume. That's the basics, of course, for something more advanced one will need to expose some features of Flocker in Kubernetes.

This is a good point, and why it usually be framed in a different way, that some people get rich by being very value-oriented. It's about getting the best bang for the buck.
In terms of knowledge and experience I have that. I work doing a lot of php, js, css/html and a little java.

Its more for my knowledge, and of course could turn into a side project. I am just looking for tips and i guess frameworks and architectures that could help me learn how a website is developed from the ground up
I like that you can optimize for storage on mobile devices keeping a smaller file size on the phone with the ability to access the higher res if needed.

Hey hackernews! What books would you recommend to introduce someone to software project management? (Not scrum) I am working with a product owner who wants to learn more about it.
CV joints 'snap' when they have been left without lube or have been driven way past their lifespan (normally the life of the vehicle but for smaller cars they are fragile enough that it is not rare to see them go).

One major reason for CV joint problems is the CV joint boot tearing allowing road grime in and grease out of the joint (they warm up enough that the lube becomes fluid and of course there is all the swirling which will happily empty a fully greased up CV joint in a few hundred kilometers). So you inspect those periodically and replace them when they have a large enough number of miles on them. Maintenance is everything with things that you use every day and that you depend on. It's like technical debt in software: you can ignore it for a bit but then you end up paying double or worse.

A CV joint is a wear part itself too, so if it has done its duty you replace it. (Not all that hard, but definitely not 'can barely replace a tire' territory.)
The view that inflation is not solely driven by money supply is hardly limited to Keynesians. Especially since the 1990s, neoclassical economists also typically include other factors in their models, in part because a single-variable model doesn't appear to be empirically correct.
also, if i understand the plan, it's not like everyone is getting an 8k check. most people are getting a tax deduction.
Sort of like RivalIQ. Your blog is down :)
Is it just pictures of people who backed into a parking spot? The gallery requires Flash, so I haven't seen it.

There are actually some places around here that have signs explicitly disallowing backing into a parking space for one reason or another. Anyway, I was taught in drivers training (in the US) that if you are able to pull through a parking space so the front of your car is parked towards the road, you should. Not sure how common that message is.

> I don't think anyone is missing the point at all.

Perhaps you are not, but "anyone"? The article quotes 2 tweets that disagree with the point, and I've heard it misunderstood on internet comments.

Perhaps it's not a common misunderstanding, or perhaps it is - it's hard to tell with anecdotes. Regardless, it's worth clarifying, as the author of the post did.
I'll second that in a heartbeat.

I have a good friend that always struggled with money - rent, food, you name it... yet somehow has an expensive car with expensive insurance. He makes 1/2 what I do (or less) yet somehow drives a car worth 2/3x more than what I drive (just got a new used 2011 Honda Civic).

Generally you become, and stay, a millionaire by saving money. It's why so many people can win Millions in the Lottery and be broke a few years later. Getting money is only the first part. The second part is keeping it.
It is not "definitely illegal" to set license terms to whatever one wishes including restricting commercial use. The GPL hinges upon copyright to enforce it's provisions. Copying privileges are revoked for people who violate the license. This is a legal "hack" to get around the need to establish a contract or exchange funds. The same sort of rules can be applied for any other criteria such as the type of user. If I want to prohibit blue-eyed people from using my software I am free to do so. Dual licensing isn't a requirement to do this.
That's really cool. When people unite...

My name isn't even on the list of recent donors anymore, that's going fast! Maybe he'll wake up tomorrow and hit refresh a couple times to be sure there's nothing wrong with the counter, hehe.
This is partly why I stopped donating to the FSF. They're dumping some amount of that money into misguided PR campaigns rather than helping out the developers trying to make free software better.
From web to desktop: Introducing a new way to open Dropbox files
Having transferred petabytes of data in tens of millions of files over the past months let me assure you there's only one tool that you really need: GNU parallel.

Whether you copy the individual files with ftp, scp or rsync is largely irrelevant. The network is always your ultimate bottleneck. Using a slower copy-tool just means having to set a slightly higher concurrency in order to max it out.
