It's a bit more sobering when you hear how Warren Buffett eats - like a 6 year old would if he was a billionaire. Tons of soda, ice cream, a diabetic nuclear bomb of a diet really. Those with means have different conspicuous consumption choices though, and that's awful difficult to ignore. A watch isn't the same thing as food - not every billionaire would wear a watch necessarily, but we must all eat. The usual dot com millionaire might buy a nice car like any other random person would, but I really doubt that most lottery winners would buy something like a NetApp SAN to use at home for file storage (I would anyway, and I'm really lame in most of the the consumer choices I make typically).
Send messages into the future
If you believe what Lenovo is saying, they started removing the software 6 weeks ago (4 months after they added to their images) because people were complaining about it injecting ads.

I think they had also already turned off that behavior, the 'it no longer talks to the server' in their statements.
My assumption about such an app is that similar to couch surfing, the most motivated users are guys looking for a hookup, and that will probably be a turn off for other demographics. I don't have an Iphone or else I'd be interested in testing the hypothesis.
Not having insurance is a strict liability offence

It's the same in my country.

But if you're late on payments then a normal dunning process begins. Before your insurance turns invalid you have to ignore at least 3 letters over the course of 3 months.

In the UK they just flip the switch when a single payment fails, without prior warning?
This... isn't how lifetimes work.

As I said above, there's no lifetime annotations you can use to ensure that y lives as long(aka is in the same scope) as x in the following

let x = 1;
{
let y = 2;
}

This is also true if you do dynamic allocations: there's fundamentally no way to "promote" variables to a higher scopes just by using lifetime annotations.

Lifetimes are a purely passive thing, designed to allow the compiler to check the programmer's use of references, not to allow the compiler to massage things around to ensure that whatever use work.

That is, if a Rust program compiles, then it will also compile (modulo needing extra `unsafe` annotation) and, importantly, do the same thing, if all the references are replaced with raw pointers, which don't have lifetimes to describe their relationships.

This nature/nurture distinction reminds me of dealing with bugs in large systems.

Some of the time it's the code (nature), sometimes it's the data (nurture).
What what a load of drivel... You're killing the messenger here. None of what you said here justifies what Google is doing for instance with .dev. How can you compare a restricted .gov TLD to the exclusive use of TLDs by Google?
I sounded to me like Animats was describing an "active lifetime" system, where the compiler will change where variables are placed, when they are deallocated (etc.) to make whatever code work. Rust's lifetimes do not work like that.
I'd turn that round ! Code is nurture (can be fixed/altered), data is nature (it's there, and it just don't care).
It reminds me of a similar open search engine with good search results: http://www.gigablast.com, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6152839

Ten years ago, the EU sponsored Exalead to become a Google competitor. Nowadays the company is owned by Dassault Systèmes (3D CAD Catia): https://www.exalead.com/search/ , http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Quaero-Erster-Vorlaeu...

Other mentioned DuckDuckGo, but one has to differ. DDG uses the Yahoo search API, and Yahoo itself uses the Bing search from Microsoft. DDG parses the query string and tries to add some snips from Wikipedia/Yelp/etc. There are only 4 big search engines left: Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidoo. There are some minor ones like Gigablast, Exalead and now Deusu. And there are meta search engines like DDG and Yahoo.

@Deusu dev: Good luck with the refactoring from Pascal to JavaScript, sounds like a good idea! Do you use a page-rank or how else do you score?
I have been looking for a chance to use this assertion for a while, so thank you: Disrupt is broken
If you look at the actual impact to companies by breaches like this, it's almost the same impact that Google, Apple, and Microsoft faced after the PRISM leak - hardly perceptible to revenue. What does happen though obviously is a lot of opex expenditures to deal with it all, and that's where companies are getting squeezed oftentimes in the usual behemoth dysfunctional megacorp landscape.

I'm gung-ho about security as much as you but the truth is that users hardly stop using a service after data breaches. The ones that do matter though are like the ones that delete all your AWS instances and custom AMIs when holding your company's assets for ransom. That is what startups should be worried about indeed (as well as enterprises that are transitioning more of their IT into cloud environments that can be scripted and automated much easier - makes it easier for attackers in theory too).
I applaud the effort, but the search results quality is really poor. It's basically an Altavista style laundry list of anything remotely relevant in no particular order.

That said, do you do your own crawling or do you source results from someone?
> Uber says it will offer a free one-year membership of Experian’s ProtectMyID Alert

My ID has been breached twice in other, unrelated incidents. Each time these ID protection companies want to know my SS# and all sorts of other stuff. My heart skips a beat imagining them scraping the web for my SS# and CC# in an otherwise well intentioned effort. I've refused their services and insist they only provide the insurance policy associated with this.
True, but the calculations companies do don't include huge negative externalities they're causing, and this needs to be corrected.

No pagerank. But I use backlink-counts and Alexa.com data. Also position of keywords in url, title and snippet. Length of url and number of elements in the url are also a part.
Hm, maybe I just "know too much", but it seems to me that most of the parts of the type system are relatively independent: there's not too many weird interactions between the various parts, and many systems are complex because of the surprising interactions.

In any case, half the "complexity" in the example you give is the noise of using the fully-qualified std::ops::Neg path in the bounds, rather than importing it and just writing `Neg`. :)
I see a lot of comments about security, but would be happy to bet this was simple social engineering and "human hacking". It's sobering to see large-ish companies that give full read access (and sometimes write) of customer and financial data to interns, fresh grads and new contractors for expediency. Young people are cheap. $500 is a new computer or weeks of food to an indebted student.

Management usually doesn't care, revenue and convenience trump security; until of course something bad happens, which is why older institutions have draconian access standards, meetings to discuss who has the right to know about the meeting to determine the access list management program (true story) and so on.

Nothing in the press release hints at an actual attack. "An unauthorized third party accessed our database, and we immediately changed the password" sounds like they realized one of their competitors hired an intern to get them a login.

Payment processor with the best support I had so far. Supports nearly every payment type and does all the nasty stuff for you (invoices, recharges, customer support etc)
Great question! I recently launched a startup where we ended up using Paypal because we simply couldn't find any good alternatives. It is a huge drawback from our point of view and we really want an alternative. There just doesn't seem to be one.

We wanted to set up a payment flow where a consumer would transfer the money to us, and after the delivery of the product we would transfer it to the seller. Strripe offers something that can accomodate this flow, but not internationally. It is only available in the US.

There seems to be a huge gap in the market here. Is there something missing from my exploration of alternatives?
You know that you're describing things that machines are inherently better at than humans? And the problems you described stem mostly from the fact that maps also serve informative function (to learn the route in advance), and apparently Google didn't decide yet to compute routes in their navapp based on other active users of said navapp in the neighbourhood. But the data, infrastructure and algorithms are there.

> And if it did, and it controlled a significant portion of the cars, it would no longer be the best route.

Of course it would, because it would be able to run a global route optimization on all the cars simultaneously, thus outperforming even the most experienced human drivers by orders of magnitude. Getting above human level seems like a college-level exercise.

I try to keep data 'as is' and give only new image of it but not new data. Scaling makes much more sense (I used it in visualization of Israel immigration because their statistic office has VERY strange approach to period slots).

Regarding smooth curves, you see, the data is unchanged - you can see exact numbers in tooltips, the visualization is just new look of it, what it's supposed to be )
> I don't see sites publish their certificate fingerprints anywhere which would at least allow some form of manual check.

That's exactly what Google and the likes are building in Certificate Transparency (http://www.certificate-transparency.org/). It's basically a log of all modifications on any certificate chain that can be monitored by anyone who is interested so that misissuance can be detected.

There's also the old Perspectives project which idea was forked into Convergence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_%28SSL%29) by good ol' moxie. The idea: any number of independent entities run notary servers, and when you get the certificate for a domain you also ask the certificate for the same domain to those notaries; if they have the same certificate, it means you all have the same "view" of the domain, so everything is probably ok. If they differ, maybe you (or they) were MiTM'ed.

Why do you want JavaScript contracts specifically? I've done contracts with languages I don't have a strong portfolio in but the clients weren't interested in the technology, they just wanted a solution to their problem. If you're proficient in several varied languages a new one isn't going to slow you down much. You're likely to get scrutinised more if the contract is specifically about JavaScript though.

> Apparently they don't care.

Well, they do, but they can't do anything about it. See, it's a very known problem with real humans - from boycotting Coca Cola for slaughtering people in poor countries, to tantalum capacitor production being based on even worse slaughter of men, women and children in poor countries, to the whole environmental fuckup we enjoy today - "voting with your wallet" doesn't work. People can't coordinate on a large enough scale, so they have to stick with the bad choices. Why should I move my business elsewhere, if the risk is unlikely and my competitor here will save money over me if he stays? And my competitor thinks the same, and neither of us move.

It's the very case regulations exist for - it's much easier (and in reality, actually feasible) to coordinate people to ban all businesses from doing particular classes of shitty things.

But honestly, I thought that's kind of economics 101, that this is market failure mode when it is applied to real, flesh and blood humans.

This analysis is spot-on for iPhone, especially if you count the iPhone 5c. Apple made previous attempts at combining technology and luxury nonsensical, especially Vertu, which used trailing edge technology in what became by comparison a ridiculously conspicuously consuming package.

But, the Apple Watch is not following the same recipe: The solid gold case options for the watch are actually Vertu's model, but with up-to-date technology and what looks to be a general move up-market for Apple's retail stores.

Apple looks like they are embracing and shaping the luxury market in a bid to further extend their ability to maintain high margins for technology products.

It's not a desperate move. It's not a greedy move. They are retaining all their other strategies and almost all of them continue to work. But it sure looks like they are adding the methods of luxury brands to their arsenal.

If it works (and not everything, like sapphire, works) you'll see more of this in other products.
1. Yeah. Which is a tangent to the point that they spent a paragraph talking up the nominal benefits of distributing an entire container without facing either the reality that there is no standardized format (yes, really, look it up) or the necessary loss of binary portability. So yeah, marketing drivel .. all benefits, no frank discussion of drawbacks.

2. From the article, it seems like they are encouraging people to build their own cluster atop their platform rather than using a packaged cluster service.

3. OK. So allegedly two layers here. That's a lot better than one, though it makes you wonder how they schedule client slash client cgroup association across physical hardware (ie. VMs).

4. That's just a paragraph of fluff around cgroups, was my point.

5. The fact is you can't migrate easily between arbitrary providers because nothing offers you that level of abstraction.

Ask HN: eCommerce - Boutique VS Retailer
I'm about to work on a project for an high end fashion brand. We have to build the website to present the collections and ideally the eCommerce to sell them.

I've been looking to a lot of fashion designer and brands websites and noticed that they all have the same style of eCommerce that to me look very "cheap" if you are a luxury brand.

Let me explain better.

Some doesn't have an online shop - celine.com - therow.com - but many others have it - acnestudios.com - stellamccartney.com -

To me those who doesn't have it gives much more the impression to look at something luxury, something special. On the others looks like I'm buying from Wallmart. They all look the same, and not only in the buying experience flow, that yes, it actually works.

This brand with who I'm working already have an online store that will sell clothes for them (they have the online exclusive), so I was thinking to propose something different for their website shopping experience, something "tailored".

So I was thinking, why I should buy from the brand website rather than an online reseller? What makes special to buy from them directly? It's not only matter of UI and UX, it's something deeper, behind.

It's like: buying in a small boutique VS buying at Walmart

Do you know any brand or website that have some "special" online shop or something that goes out from the common mass eCommerce solution?

If you have any ideas about, please share, I'd love to discuss to see how I can create a "tailored shopping experience"

Your T&Cs (particularly the waivers) aren't legal in Australia and yet the app is still available to download here. Might want to get some region-specific T&Cs before distributing the app outside of the US? For example, in the state of Victoria at least you can only waive liability in the a) case of death and injury and b) only in the cases of recreational sport (but you have to use specific language available on the Victorian government website). Also, I don't think an Australian can give up the right to sue. This does create a potential liability issue in terms of operating the application here (and I imagine it does in many other jurisdictions as well.)
