Me too! I call it "shell scripts". Been in production use since ~1970. Seems to handle most of my needs. I just wish it was written in JavaScript.
So about 8 years ago I bought a home using BuySide Realty. Similar idea: they represented you in the purchase transaction, then rebated 75% of the negotiated purchase commission back to you.

It worked really great. I saved almost 2% on my home. BuySide apparently became some company called Iggy's House (worst name for a company, EVER), then they disappeared.

So a) how do you differ from BuySide and b) how will you not disappear like they did?
What are you referring to? And surely this is orthogonal to whether it's Title II or not; not being title II does not magically prevent anything.

I might be missing something here but why is everybody hating on Google for this? How is this different from having sponsored results in the search results on Google? I feel this is great for a number of reasons:

1. This allows apps which are new to not just rely on something unreliable as App store optimization to get downloads.
2. This will force app developers to think about monetization more seriously and possibly even get rid of free apps culture.
3. You can get users at the point of their query. Facebook gets you passive users. For example on FB you might need to reach 100 people to find one person who has a problem solved by your app, but using this you can find the exact people looking for apps which solve the problem your app is about.
4. The argument about Zynga and King owning the sponsored are false. It is like saying Microsoft, Twitter and Facebook are going to own the search results on Google.
5. Improvement in organic search doesn't need to happen without starting sponsored results.
HTTP/2 gives you more than just a stream of frames (matching of requests to responses, some structure around headers and bodies, flow control, etc). gRPC could have been built on websockets but it would have been more work (almost as much work as building on plain TCP sockets - websockets add very little except the ability to work from a browser)

Oh, I thought it had to read them back from the STUN server negotiation because of javascript limitations.
but this is the standard method Democrats have employed for years. They take any debate and make it personal. No longer is the discussion of the subject at hand but the persons involved. This allows all sorts of toxic labels to be branded about, racist, bigot, for the rich, elitist, and more. They don't want to debate facts, the fastest way to avoid facts is to brand the other side with a label associated with hate and/or stupidity.

I just want to know, what takes so many pages as to describe these rule changes? Why was it so important to pass changes without public review? What part of transparency don't people get?

A lot of the things I do don't really seem to be thought or thinking but instinct, with rationalization later.
Lately I've been wondering if people think or animals actually "think". Perhaps everything we do extends from some kind of simple instinct in the case of insects to an extremely advanced form of instinct humans, primates, corvids, etc.

Curious how the American Disabilities Act will be applied to the internet through these regulations. It could mean anything from requiring all content providers to meet unknown rules to providing special equipment in homes as part of service requirements. Let alone, what is protection from discrimination when it comes to the internet?

This is the problem with such open ended rules, there are no real limits. Why no public review?
Yeah, it has always been unprompted. We all try and treat as a fun exercise, occasionally with beer although I've never had an interviewee accept the offer of any drink other than water.

I also go out of my way to make sure I communicate with the candidate. We take the voice vote immediately after the interview, and I call the candidate within 24 hours. If there are any no votes I make sure to tell the candidate why, and try and give them pointers for specific areas they would need to improve on to work here and try and point them at resources they can use to improve.

We're in a relatively small market, and it pays to be nice to everyone. Anyone we interview I am pretty much guaranteed to run into at some sort of dev event. And just because someone wasn't a good fit today, it doesn't mean they won't be the perfect candidate next year or two years from now.
For those who might not know, it's possible Netflix could benefit from paid prioritization: it would protect Netflix from start-ups aiming to take the place of Netflix.

I'm not sure what Netflix's official stance is on net neutrality, but it's possible Mr. Cuban thinks this way.
I just spend a couple minutes on the site - and I have no idea what it does.

Good article in many ways but what I always feel like these commentaries miss is that many of us came from working class backgrounds and put ourselves into the middle classes. And we still identify with the working class and that it isn't a fetish but rather our roots.

Say what you will about Western society but it does provide many opportunities for a working class kid to take agency and move themselves into the middle classes while still identifying with their upbringing too. I can afford nice things now, and I treat myself from time to time, but I (and many others I assume) haven't abandoned the things I grew up on either.

HTTP2 is superior to WebSocket at the transport layer because it adds explicit framing support and other things. Websocket-over-HTTP2 is coming, but it's not here now.

While HTTP/1.1 was a poor transport for high-perf RPC there are many parts of it that make sense semantically (headers, trailers, mime-types, virtual-hosting, content-encoding specification etc). HTTP2 lets you continue to use those in a form everyone is familiar with, with Websocket you would have to invent them again.
I repeat your attitude sucks. That's not an ad hominem attack. An ad hominem attack is an attack directed at your person, I'm attacking the nature and premise of your comments; they come from a place of useless negativity.

Your attitude is basically "This means nothing because only the implementation and enforcement means anything." Which is just absurd.

Of course the implementation and enforcement matter, but the regulations matter as well.

How do you support the buyer other than handling the offer and contract? Do you provide escrow, referrals for home inspectors, surveyors, or title services? Do you shop those out?

First time buyers need a ton of assistance navigating all of that and making sure they don't get screwed by the sell side of the deal (e.g. seller recommending their own inspector, for one).

Really? That's all you've got? If someone disagrees with you it's "astroturfing"? I bet you really have some compelling arguments.
It very well could be that Comcast or someone else hired a bunch of people to flood comments (though it's strange timing to do it afterwards rather than before). But can you acknowledge that at least some of us have honest disagreements with you on the issue? Or should this opinion really be anathema to this community?
Let's not forget links and w3m.
I have to agree. Most companies expect some kind of coding challenge now to weed out those who lie on their resume.

The recruiter will likely just forward your entire response to the company and honestly, it sounds a little pompous.

I've been on the hiring team for a couple of companies and if I saw that kind of response it would be an instant turn off because I think it shows someone who is difficult to work with.

However, if you simply just said "sorry, I don't have time for this right now I'm interviewing with 5 different companies alongside my day job" you can bet that would get a more favorable response. I know cases where someone's resume looked good enough to allow them to skip that part and just come in for the in-person interview. In fact, I've used this very line myself to avoid doing coding challenges that would have taken too long.
And now you are doing the same by making this a left/right issue. It's not. Both sides use this same tactic. It's a part of politics.

"I only meant that there is a logical reason why having non-elected persons creating regulations can be advantageous"

We elect people to do that. Perhaps if they were forced to do the actual rule making we would not get 1,000 page bills with all of the rule making to be done later[1]. Perhaps they would pass less bills that need regulation if they had to put them in the bill.

The staffers at various agencies are doing their apprenticeship for their big payday when they join lobbying organizations or the companies that they were supposed to be watching. It happens enough that it has been suggested multiple times that employment restrictions (basic conflict of interest) should be put in place. The DoD is famous for a lot of this (check Boeing's hiring).

"I only meant that there is a logical reason why having non-elected persons creating regulations can be advantageous"

Because those folks are their friends and future employers (again).

1) yes, I read the ACA because I needed to know the ruling on a specific situation and it was one of those rule making later. It was very frustrating but not very surprising.
Teraflop just posted this above your comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8999657

So while you are right, you are muddying who you consider to be "everyone".
Unfortunately, "hate and stupidity" are often correlated with the issues. The political position opposite of granting, say, LGBT's the same rights as everyone else has literally no other basis than hate and stupidity.

There may be valid arguments to be made against net neutrality, but I have yet to see one that doesn't start with putting more money in the pockets of the telcos.
Most adware/malware are trojan horses... I don't think anyone is implying different... the fact of the matter is, it's annoying, and it's as effective against OSX users as it is with Windows users... or possibly more so.

Hi, I'm a researcher using a (massive) fork of the Runestone platform. I'm pretty familiar with their technology and group. They use sphinx to generate html pages that then interact with their website through ajax. Their entire focus is on an interactive web experience for their book. Techniaclly, sphinx can export to PDF, but I doubt they've ever tried (I certainly haven't bothered in my fork), because the core functionality that we both trumpet is the interactivity.

That said: if you print individual pages with Chrome's Print to PDF feature, I think you'll be pleased with the result. The formatting tends to be very good (without extraneous markup and such, except for the interactive stuff - which was never going to go well.

I'm sure there are ways to script that printing - if not, then there aren't so many chapters that it would get excessive, I imagine. Personally, none of my students have ever requested an offline version of the book, but that might just as easily be because they never considered the utility of such a thing.
> The accusations of astroturfing on HN are a vile sort of rhetorical tactic.

Though I'm in the libertarian anti-NN legislation camp, I don't know if this is true. Previously when I tried to express my views I got voted down. I assumed from this that HN is naturally heavily pro-NN legislation. (Or maybe they just didn't like the particular argument I made. * shrugs *)

Though, I do agree that it's a bad rhetorical tactic.
The response your body has to gluten, like many things, is going to be highly dependent on a combination of your gut flora and genetics. And while your genetics won't change over time, your gut flora will.

There is this strange myth that exists in nutrition that food is somehow "designed" for the human body and that there are absolute answers as to what is good for you and what is bad for you.

The gluten-free movement of sorts is just another step in a long running misunderstanding of how food is processed by the human body. The result of which is always, "<food> is not good for you, this study proves it!" The reality is much more personal.

It's possible that the rise in gluten sensitivity has more to do with changing gut flora than anything else. That may be a result of long term gluten consumption, too much gluten consumption or something else completely unrelated.
The 2000 presidential election was decided on a 5-4 vote.

What bothers me more are that these votes are always evenly split among party lines. It doesn't matter which side you are on, when one seat flipping means business-as-usual does a complete 180. What sensible person would want to invest in a country so polarized and with such an uncertain future?

Overall we try not to. Make it so everyone has their own login/password so you can control access and limit liability now. The problem with shared credentials is you do not know who did what and in the end that can bite you. Also, it can become a nightmare when you need to update a password to keep things secure and finding out who needs it and who has it etc.

And almost always, when you share a password the pain of updating it becomes so great you stop and then everything becomes even less secure.

If you must do it for some reason, I'd suggest trying an app like 1password or similar and sharing the vault between computers.

I'm not sure if it's available outside of Canada, but Celimix is a really decent gluten-free "flour" that I use when my mother-in-law is coming to town (side note: she is all the evidence I need to see that NCGS exists. Night and day differences.)

I've successfully made multiple loaves (and styles) of bread with this stuff, along with tortillas and amazingly (to me) an Angel Food cake from scratch. It's all turned out reasonably well the first time, and excellent the second time after I've had a chance to tweak things a little bit.

I would recommend using it in "scientist mode" though. I use a kitchen scale and measure the mass of all of the ingredients I use, along with taking notes about mixing times and things like that when I'm using it. Mostly because: a) I don't cook gluten-free very often, so I want repeatable results, and b) I really like to be able to figure out what went wrong.
