Yeah,your point about why democrates should support that stuff is a little silly. with the TTIP democracy stops being relevant . Elected representatives wont make laws.International Businesses and international tribunals will de facto since they will be able to challenge any national law. Minimum wage hurting corporation Z business? well corporation Z will challenge that.

As for Republicans,well,the idea of trading a big government for an even bigger government,only international, isn't going to fly.

Anyway,that shit will happen sooner or later. It's obvious that the world will be run not by states but by corporations,it's not just a science fiction fantasy.
I must be missing something. I receive texts from my bank on my Norwegian number where ever I am in the world. The Nomad SMS web page doesn't explain why there is a problem.

Something isn't necessarily true just because the majority of people believe it to be true.

I'll add to that. At one point in history in 2014 most people believed that all their ancestors regarded the world as flat.

I've seen this example several times now, and I never got why it was so bad: it's mostly an objection to the namespace qualification syntax if anything. It would actually be written:

use std::ops::Neg;
struct Foo<'a,P> where P: Neg + 'a, <P::Neg>::Output: 'a {
foo: &'a Bar<P>,
}

And with further proposed improvements it would be:

use std::ops::Neg;
struct Foo<'a,P> where P: Neg + 'a, P::Output: 'a {
foo: &'a Bar<P>,
}

Not bad. It's saying "I have a generic structure over a type parameter P tied to a lifetime 'a, and P must overload the unary minus operator".
It would turn that around and say that people who pretend to defend free markets support limited liability companies as a pragmatic solution, while people who pretend to support free markets, but want to have the social cred of rebelling against the existing system, make a big deal about the theoretical problems of limited liability.

In practice, a corporation by far is most likely to owe money to its creditors, and not random third parties. In this case, all limited liability does is create a default contract (and rule out alternatives) in which the creditors cannot go after the investors, but can seize the company if it stops repaying its debt.
The UI was fine for me in 2002 and is fine today. What would you change?

The giant step in usability was the intrusion of a fast search engine. Outbound filters were another nice improvement but not as important. Not UI anyway.
let me give you the elevator explanation for a $20B valuation.

'Barclay’s report estimates that Airbnb’s current bookings are about 37 million room-nights per year ... predicts that Airbnb’s growth in bookings could triple in size in the next year, '

http://qz.com/329735/airbnb-will-soon-be-booking-more-rooms-...

So AirBbB is already at 37M bookings, expected to triple to ~$120M. Assume the average cost of a room is $200 and you're talking $24B in gross revenue. Of that AirBnb takes 3% ... working out to ~$720M. Now here's the beauty ... to generate that $720M AirBnb doesn't need that many employees. If we go on LinkedIn there are 2,257 employees listing AirBnB as their employer. Let's say average cost is $400K that's $90M. Say there's another $100M in expenses (server hosting costs, office space, etc). We can see how AirBnb could be generating $500M in profit. Slap a 40x multiple on that and we're at $20B.

Furthermore there are some incredibly appealing characteristics. One, expenses won't grow with revenue. If AirBnb goes from 120M to 240M bookings their expenses are relatively fixed. They'll have to add additional server capacity but the for the most part that will just be pure profit.

Two, and more important, they're got a tremendous competitive position. The degree of customer captivity is highly under-appreciated. Once someone makes an account and establishes their credibility on one platform they're going to be reluctant to go through the effort to do that on another platform. Combined with their market leading position it will make difficult for anyone to unseat AirBnb.

So as I said before, I think what's interesting is figuring out what serious investors see that justifies a $20B valuation.
I miss command line mh. While I can still use it, email has gotten increasingly mimey, and using mh these days feels too much like swimming upstream. I also think calendar and email is a natural integration.

That said, TB has been my email client for years and years. It has everything I need, and works well. It also has warts, but if you use any kind of software you get used to warts.
It's impossible to serious email management in Gmail? Are you trolling?

Gmail was built by engineers to manage email efficiently. Everything can be keyboard driven. Labels work better than folders. Filters super easy to create. I receive 200+ emails a day, and Gmail keyboard shortcuts are my go-to tool. Aside from sub-optimal (usually chorded) keyboard shortcuts, every local client I've ever tried has simply choked on the volume of mail I deal with, Gmail doesn't.

I use MailPlane to get the Gmail UI but with smooth integration into OS X and multiple Google accounts loaded in parallel with the Google multi-login nightmare.

Why is the author referencing the Itanium C++ ABI? Isn't IA-64 an obsolete architecture that nobody uses? And then he gives examples with x86_64 and mentions his "i7-4771 CPU". Confusing.

Yes, of course. Companies shouldn't be forced to provide service if they feel it's not in their best interest. If you were a consultant (you may be), would it be reasonable to force you to accept any client?

Things that serve all people without choice are utilities, and should be left to the government (either directly or through strict regulation).
It's a shame we still don't have a cryptocurrency that can be used to route around economic damage caused in situations like this. Bitcoin was the Altair of digital currency. Where's the Apple II?
Wouldn't surprise me if that's the case, or at least if it's a factor in increased downloads. My default mail client on Windows is Postbox, but ever since I started using PGP, I switched to Thunderbird because Enigmail doesn't play nice with Postbox.

Thunderbird's UI could be a bit better but it performs well and does its job without causing too much trouble, so I'm quite happy with it.
For me, consulting was mostly fire fighter work.

Upvote for pgloader. Moving data from SQL Server into Postgres with PGLoader has been fairly seamless and the maintainer is very responsive on Github.
The UI could still use polishing. For example, the attachment confirmation dialog is so confusing. I'm tempted to send them a patch that makes the wording clearer.

"Did you forget to add an attachment?" ("Oh, I didn't!", "No, I did!")
Hm, I too got the sense that it's not clear what the "prerequisites" are for reading the article. Parts of it were really straightforward to me "oh, I know roughly what a stack and the heap are" to confusing "wow, I don't know anything about C++". I think a few distinct guides targeting different sorts of programmers might be the answer here.

But I do like the idea of focusing on ownership and lifetimes more front and center, since that's rust's raison d'etre.

Can you get a hold of Niko's slides from the NYC meetup this week at Bloomberg? I was there, and his overview of ownership and borrowing, using the examples of a book, were actually really helpful for me. For whatever reason, his approach really resonated with me.
It will take a lot more than "market pressure" to make Bitcoin a safe, usable option for Grandma.

> Rand Paul? You mean the far-right anarcho-capitalist who considers one of the provisions of the Civil Rights Act unconstitutional[2], said that criticizing BP for trying to get out of paying for their own oil spill was "un-American ... criticism of business"[3], fought to defend tax-evaders who stash their money in Switzerland[4], and says that he's "not a firm believer in democracy"[5]?

The problem with calling Rand Paul "far-right" is that he isn't anything like Dick Cheney. Calling someone "far-right" who agrees with the Green Party on so many social issues is just... odd.

So let's go through your list for a second, because it's kind of unreasonable to criticize someone for taking positions that are essentially correct. Forcing employers to hire people they don't want to is pretty clearly a violation of the freedom to associate, regardless of whether you think it's a good idea. It is political pandering for politicians to lambast a company which is taking full responsibility for a disaster and doing the cleanup by the book. Blocking a privacy-invading treaty that requires companies to provide the government with private financial records without any suspicion of wrongdoing is entirely the right thing to do. And the idea that democracy can lead to tyranny of the majority is so old and well-established that I'm not sure how you even expect to question its veracity.

Moreover, the idea that Elizabeth Warren is "centrist" is as wrong as the idea that Rand Paul is far-right. Centrist doesn't mean anything. If you can describe a candidate who agrees with Republicans and Democrats on half of the issues each as "centrist" but apply the same label to someone who takes exactly the opposite position on everything then the label is useless. It typically gets applied to the professional politicians who never take a position on anything and therefore seem to be inoffensive to everyone, which is exactly the opposite of what Elizabeth Warren is.

Elizabeth Warren will tell you what she thinks. You may not always agree with it, but at least you know what it is, which is more than you can say for Clinton, but really quite similar to Rand Paul. Which is why Paul vs. Warren would be interesting -- the campaigns would be spectacular because they're both candidates who take actual positions on things.

But Elizabeth Warren has stated unequivocally that she's not running.
I've used DigitalOcean for about a year and been happy with it. Lately I've been looking at Atlantic.Net and Vultr.com as well because they offer either cheaper or have slightly different priorities in their pricing levels.

For example, Vultr offers more memory and less hard drive space in their $5/month level.

These days I'm trying to get to a point where I have deployment software in place that would allow me to use Ubuntu LTS anywhere in a fairly short period of time. It's not that I'm actively looking to leave DigitalOcean, it's that I would like to be able to recommend something like Atlantic.Net's GO plan to somebody to put up a quick static site for $12 a year and know that it actually works because I've tried it myself.

The C++ ABI that everyone (well, OK, the open source compiler toolchain ecosystem) uses nowadays on popular architectures was created for the Itanium [1], and so it bears its name. Itanium ended up having an impact in a weird, roundabout way :)

In the US, cabbies are often relatively recent immigrants. They may know parts of the city OK, but they can't be relied upon to have the city memorized.

Yes, I was being a bit hyperbolic. But the US certainly fulfils some of the qualifications of a failed state according to the definition of the phrase on wikipidia anyway. For example..
'Erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions' - It appears that a lot of US policy is decided by private special interest groups, lobby groups and corporations and not by any sovereign or democratic process.
'Inability to provide public services' - Aforementioned lack of education, healthcare, adequate drinking water etc. for a large cohort of the population.
'Inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community' - Arguable as the US has acted unilaterally, breaking international laws during the invasion of iraq for example.
The respected US commentator Noam Chomsky makes the point that the US is becoming more and more like a failed state in book 'failed states'
Its a fun way to look at what might be involved in writing a search engine and to start experiencing the myriad of ways in which people "search" and what they expect when they do.

I encourage you to continue in your efforts, and I will add some suggestions on how you might proceed which will get you further along.

First, in order to scale, it will have to be able to run on 'n' servers. So look at ways of breaking up your index across multiple machines and operating on the index in parallel.

Second, crawling can often be a bigger challenge than providing search results, so work on building a system that can crawl a bunch of different web sites. Folks like Octopart have shown that topical search engines are really useful. So consider putting together a billion document index of say "news sources".

In the 'everything that is old is new again' theme, consider building simply a 'blog search engine' which is one that focuses on various blog content. The old Technorati did that and later was subsumed and its become harder for blog writers to rank in Google's results, so perhaps there is an opening for a place to search about who is talking about 'x' for some X.

I happen to know you can run a pretty decent crawler and indexer for about $2M a year :-) so consider targeting your donation rate to hit about $150,000 a month.
Really? I don't remember having any major problems with search recently. Search is a few orders of magnitude better than the junk mail classification, at least for me. I don't know what algorithms they use for junk classification, but here are some observations:

1) I mark 100% of the emails from a particular sender or with a particular subject line as junk, yet the junk classifier still puts emails from that sender or with that subject in my inbox. This is the low-hanging fruit -- the stuff that is so obvious that it is spam that a human can figure it out without looking at the message body at all, yet Thunderbird can't seem to get it right no matter how much you train it. I can only guess that they are placing too much weight on the body content (which is easily padded with hidden text to con the algorithm) when a bad sender/subject should trump whatever is in the body.

2) Emails from people that I've emailed in the past sometimes end up in the junk folder. I thought they were supposed to be whitelisted automatically (by automatically being appended to some special section of your address book).

3) I've implemented message filters to detect certain words like our product name and move the incoming message to a high-priority folder, yet messages that should match the filter still end up in the junk folder on rare occasions (and, yes, I have it configured to run the filter before junk classification is applied -- I'm assuming that junk classification should not be applied if a filter moves the message out of the inbox).

4) It sometimes seems to just stop learning, so I have to reset and retrain the junk classifier or it gets to the point where the only emails that it recognizes as being junk are the ones in a foreign language.

HiFi seems pretty rotten to me. There are lots of points where today the cheapest option is just as good as ones for thousands of dollars (cables being the best example). HiFi people spend thousands on voodoo, yet spending money on products that have a bigger focus on design is seen as a waste of money.

The only thing that really separates HiFi from consumer audio is speaker size

Strangely, I was thinking about this problem this morning. A "keychain code" (aka, randomly generated passphrase) doesn't seem any more usable. It moves from "it's hard to securely sync private keys across devices", to "it's hard to securely sync long passphrases between devices".

Why not a user chosen passphrase, with pretty extreme key stretching (w seed)? Allow fetching the encrypted key with any piece of ID similar (email, twitter handle). The key stretching makes brute-force or dictionary attacks pretty much impossible.

> Every user need to know their devices and vendor before purchasing.

This completely ignores the reality of how the majority of people buy and use their computers. Sure, personally I (as: the HN user typing this comment) can portscan my router, solder in the serial port to get the system console... but that's not something that can reasonably be required from any average Joe.

Things on that level of negligence should be dealt with just like bare cables touchable from the outside: Have some entity go into stores, buy the box, check it for the worst vulnerabilities, declare it unsuitable for sale and place a ban on the vendor.

We do this for childrens' toys, electrical appliances, ... why not do it for IT equipment? Just to weed out the worst offenders in terms of security holes.
And am I brushing something away? I'm just saying, that he was not catastrophic to our country. For instance during Yeltsin's democratic government there was no repressions but because of povetry died over 3000000 people, and we lost a lot of industrial enterprises. During Stalin's repressions died 650000 people, but he developed our country... So... Who was a greater catastrophe for Russia?

You know, just claiming that Stalin was complete disaster for us is oversimplification.

- Sane keyboard navigation between read, unread and mail threads next, previous

- Control over my emails instead of being behind a wall

- Supports all the features of SMTP instead of what the web application guy decided to provide

- Graphical representation of common text patterns used in emails since the early days

- Allows me to store all my contacts information without sharing it with whatever server somewhere in the internet

- Aggregation of multiple accounts

- A very cool feature of editing existing emails as new ones, instead of doing a copy-paste dance

- I favour native applications over web ones when given the choice

This is fascinating, but (it's important to point out) still very much preliminary even for horses, and then applying any conclusions about foals to autism in human babies is another huge leap that may not pan out into useful information.

These kinds of articles bother me, not because I think the research isn't worthwhile -- it absolutely is! -- but article authors rarely tread lightly around the implications of these things on readers, and they need to.

There's a pretty strong movement out there for purely natural childbirth -- no c-sections except when desperately needed, home births if at all possible, no pain meds (in particular, no epidurals), midwives instead of doctors, crouching or hands-and-knees birth position instead of flat-on-the-back, no bottle/formula feeding whatsoever, etc..

There's a lot in here that's fairly well-supported, rationally and scientifically; but if I continue the list it commonly runs into "no vaccinations" and sometimes really dangerous choices, like treating potentially life-threatening complications with homeopathy instead of saying "time to call the ambulance".

There's a kernel of truth inside the distrust of highly-medicalized childbirth; see the bloody history of bad or fatal "best practices" from well-meaning scientists and doctors who didn't know what they didn't know.

But I'm very wary of feeding that distrust with non-information like this; it's too easy to jump to blaming autism on mothers who accepted (or requested) c-sections. Even though Brazil, for example, with a 46% c-section rate, doesn't seem to be overwhelmed with autism....
