I'm not sure if that's true. While voting does definitely encourage an echo chamber, it requires moderation so that the true majority doesn't gain a foothold. If it weren't for the moderation on this site, it would be much like reddit.
This Guy May Be the Only App Designer in San Francisco Without a Cell Phone
It's normal for humans of all ages. Does no one look in a mirror or take showers? My kids bathe together, sometimes with my wife. It's, uh, not a big deal, nor should it be.

And who said there's a "need"? Might as well why do you need TV at all? Nude bodies can look cool, so it seems as valid to show that as someone wearing sunglasses.

Clara Labs (https://claralabs.com/, YC S14) - San Francisco, Engineering, Full-Time

Clara is building the simplest possible interface to getting work done.

Every person on our team is involved in the thinking that creates their work - full stack in the broadest sense of the term. This means identifying, owning, and driving projects to completion.

We believe shipping early and frequently builds better products. An extreme example: we scheduled thousands of meetings entirely manually for our first Clara customers before building any software at all.

Accepting human dependency is the fastest way to building useful machine intelligence. The failure of intelligence products to date has fundamentally been a failure to build trust. It is the consequence of unreliability and lack of focus (think: Siri). Conversely, Clara has delivered a highly reliable, focused, and useful natural language interface from day one.

We’re looking for frontend, backend, and machine learning engineers to join our early team. Check out our full descriptions for each role [1], and feel free to ping me directly at oliver@claralabs.com if you have any questions!

I really highly recommend the Shut Up Chrome Extension:

It drastically improves the entire internet just by blocking every comment section everywhere on every website, except those you explicitly whitelist.

I like you.

Seriously cool idea. Keep it up!
I believe this is one of those cases where the problem can't be solved by technology because it's more of a social issue.

I mean sure, you can implement more clever ways for comment moderation, like HN, but there's always going to be the issue where some parts of the community complain about how things are going for the worse.

This will always happen I believe, regardless of the community or the tech used to moderate its comments. And so at some point someone will inevitably consider community X's comments to be poison.

I can almost bet that there are people out there that believe HN comments are poison because the comments all show groupthink or whatever (not saying I believe this is the case, but that there's probably someone who thinks this way). And technology won't ever solve this.
You could do what I’ve done with MIME::Types, which is make the class-level methods work against an instance. Most people use MIME::Types as the class-level methods, but it is possible to instantiate and use it otherwise.
What about the Randall Munroe scheme that Reddit actually uses?

Also: glare-free screens. I wonder how they solved that one?
Having recovered from CFS myself and researched it for about 15 years, it seems highly likely it is psychosomatic rather than organic. The literature seems to point in this direction -- that it is a condition caused by chronic stress. (Interestingly the biomarker found in this study is also found in PTSD and in abused women).

I think you've hit the nub of the problem with your statement that you're "more than 99% sure CFS is a physical condition". The majority of people (including many doctors) simply don't understand certain basic facts about how the body works (such as the fact that cortisol is a stress hormone, but also one of the main modulators of the immune system). Most people still have a Cartesian/Victorian view of the human body, and believe that the mind and body are completely separate.

Telling someone to "get a new hair cut to cheer you up" won't be much use for major depression or PTSD either. Comments like this just perpetuate the misconception/prejudice that psychiatric conditions aren't real illnesses. I think it's a combination of this prejudice, combined with a misunderstanding of how the body works, that has caused most of the problems relating to understanding CFS.

Just to provide a counter point, I really love comment sections. It's a way of seeing how other people are reacting to what I just read. When a news site doesn't support comments I find myself searching for them.
"let the traffic engineers run simulations and adjust those limits to maximize flow and minimize accident rates"

Wasn't there a discussion about how it's hard to raise a speed limit in an area? If the safe / max flow speed turns out to be higher than it currently is, I suspect it would be hard to get it raised. I am in great support of this idea, though..

I'd also like more aggressive variable speed limits instead of "60 all the time, between bone-dry land and torrential rain"
They might indeed just be regular folk out digging out a block in their irrigation.

This is why nobody wins in war.
Yeah, looking at this, I got the feeling that it was more "How Hollywood wants the future to look" (see Minority Report) vs. what will actually be useful and, most importantly, economical.
It doesn't have MySQL-like pluggable storage, and frankly I'm thankful for that. How many of the MySQL storage engines actually work, including transactions for queries working with tables using different storage engines and such? Or support all the features like fulltext, and so on? Whenever I want to get scared at night, I either watch the first "Alien" movie or read "MySQL restrictions and limitations". So no, thank you very much.

OTOH, PostgreSQL code base is one of the cleanest and well structured code bases I've seen, and adding a new storage engine is not all that complicated, assuming you know what you're doing and have time to do that properly. If you just want something simple, managed outside but accessed by SQL, use FDW.
I used uBlock to hide comments on pretty much every site I visit, they are incredibly seldom worth the time reading.
Why downvote? I represent a big share of the holders who didn't capitulate yet.
Except they do in other countries, maybe not in yours, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

"To put it simply: not all structure is arbitrary. Sometimes, the mind creates structure, but other times, the mind recognizes structure."

Unfortunately, the author is materialist, which causes them to miss the point that all structure is created. If the author were to remove time and space from their world view and only focus on present moment experience, it becomes impossible to find true objective structure.
>If I had 10 years to live and got $20 million, I would immediately stop working and start playing video games to get as much in as possible before I die.

wow that sentence didn't end up where I expected it to!

you listed one of the cheapest forms of entertainment in the world. (And a primary reason so many millions of teens are into it.)

you could play all the games you want for ten years, with like four complete TV or computer updates and all the games that interest you, for a total of $18K per year including basic living expenses. Leaving you 99.1% of the $20 million untouched (even though it is not such a huge sum of money.)
"Before I had studied Chan (Zen) for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and rivers as rivers. When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and rivers are not rivers. But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest. For it's just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and rivers once again as rivers."
Yeah, you are absolutely correct. But nobody ever seems to have come up with a better way to sort out regular snowflakes from special ones, especially in a scalable way.
Think of how expensive all that stuff would be. And all the maintenance of learning it, upgrading it, and powering it...

And for what, really? There's a reason video phones are not used today: it's unnecessary waste (in time and bandwidth) -- and also privacy violating -- when a text message will do just fine.
I would submit there's a significant difference between comment sites on the original site, and secondary comment sites like Slashdot, Reddit, and HN. The article is clearly about the former. I am not personally aware of a site that at scale (i.e., not a blog with a couple hundred commenters, tops) is worth reading the comments.

Sure, you can write complaints about Slashdot, Reddit, and HN (see siblings of this post competing to see who can slag on them the hardest), but at least there's a chance of some semblance of discussion. That is not a chance that big sites have.
Can I ask what you think happened to all those people who stopped getting Welfare after it was "reformed" in 1996? Did they all pull themselves up by their bootstraps and march off to Walmart to get minimum wage jobs?
Worth the read - really picks up in terms of relevance towards the end.

"Technical risk [betting on new technology working] is horrible for returns, so VCs do not take technical risk...Market risk [betting that a new market will emerge], on the other hand, is directly correlated to VC returns.

"[T]he only thing VCs can control that will improve their outcomes is having enough guts to bet on markets that don’t yet exist. Everything else is noise.

"The 1990s are not our map, the 1980s are. Don’t worry about irrational exuberance fueling a bubble, that is not what is happening. Worry about fear of risk."

Having worked with hundreds of private enterprises (so much smaller visions), I've seen this play out. The owners that take risks achieve growth (and some implode or explode). The ones who don't take risks either buy themselves a job, or die with a whimper.

I'll often suggest my potential clients go online and take a Risk Indicator test my team developed. Many won't even risk the $40 that costs (let along my coaching fees), which is a good sign they wouldn't get an ROI on investing in my team anyway.

The more of a macro view I take on businesses of all sizes, the more relevant I see the Risk discussion. Really enjoyed this piece for examining it in a field where I have less experience.
I get the "broken windows" approach, but moderation after the fact is the worst way to run a virtual community. For starters you have to embrace the notion that by having an open forum that you have a community, and you need to lead by example and nurture and give positive feedback to those who add something.
I really wonder what you mean by UPSERTS. Because the traditional meaning for UPSERT is "UPDATE if exists, INSERT otherwise", aka MERGE. And you're right PostgreSQL is missing that, but hopefully we'll get something like that in PostgreSQL 9.5 at the end of 2015. There are ways to do that in PostgreSQL using writable CTEs, in some cases.

But that's completely unrelated to JSONB, so maybe you mean something else?

Nitpick: it's JSONB, not JSOB.

Science fiction authors change the world with ideas (having ideas of how the world could be). Visualising/putting-in-words what you think the future could look like contributes to what the future will look like. I guess companies know about this and want to get ahead of the curve.
> Though I expect the speed cameras are not actually giving out points. They don't for the red light cameras. You need a "real" ticket from a cop to get points for that.

Correct! At least where I live, since points are tied to your license and the cameras can't accurately identify who is actually _driving_, this is the result.

The ticket is delivered to the owner of the vehicle, but they can't prove it was you driving the car at that time so there is no point penalty.
Which means nothing, because nearly every reddit community is different.

Moderation plays a small role in the HN community. Any "community bubble" is due to shared interests and a core set of guidelines. This seems like an excuse for making a libertarian rant and nothing more.
I don't recall that discussion, but it would be great if you or someone else could post a link to it.
Turns out a lot has changed in the c++ world in the last 15 years. (trigraphs are going away too)
So basically the people who advocated for the Iraq war are the good guys, whereas the people complaining about it in the comments are the bad ones because they aren't nice. Even the darkest corners of 4chan have nothing on the atrocities the mainstream media has advocated for over the years.
Chairs with no backs... I'll stay in the present.
My set up dotfiles in a git repo (~/configs) with a Makefile that symlinks them to the correct location.

I'm hoping someone chimes in with a bit of a better solution but there's no reason you couldn't have ~/.ssh/config symlinked in the same way.

Make sure you know which version/s of ssh you'll be dealing with and make the config work with the lowest version

Some HN articles/discussions:

Some stuff changed in OpenSSH 6+ so read the manpages, too.
All these articles are starting to look the same:
1. commenters are all awful, therefore,
2. content sites should cut off comments

It's one of those awkward arguments where I want to vigorously deny the premiss but affirm the conclusion.

There are great places for civil discussion online. If people who make content can't figure out how to build one, they should stop trying and just stick to what they know.
flapping your gums is not a contribution :-/
PostgreSQL does not have in-place update in the first place, on every UPDATE it does a DELETE+INSERT. So "partial update" does not make much sense, because you'll create a new copy of the row anyway.

This is very true. The article also didn't take into account that some people need different amounts of sleep each night to function properly. There's a big difference between needing 6 hours and needing 10 hours.
Actually, you can shrink pools now.

The comments are usually better than the article. It feels like the same article gets pushed across the web over and over and all the news comes from the same few sources on a few channels. The comments give variety and call out the BS.
People do walk naked on German beaches though, or in the sauna. Maybe I grew up in the wrong parts of Germany, but it all seems pretty normal to me.
Apple's Core Storage is a logical volume manager, and it has COW features, in particular when using its dmcache-like function to marry an SSD and HDD into a single logical volume. The could conceivably tack on checksums at this level (instead of parity for example). Core Storage volumes are the default since 10.10, in fact as long as you don't already have a Boot Camp'd dual-boot setup, the Yosemite install process converts the main partition to a Core Storage LV in-place.
> There are great places for civil discussion online.

Where? I'd like to see examples, especially any that are new to me.
I find old comments on old news stories interesting. They provide kind of a snapshot of what people were thinking/feeling at a given time.

The day Obama released his birth certificate for instance. If you go back and look at some of the more fringy sites, the comments on that day are pretty amusing. A lot of people mystified by pdf layers.
Words mean things, and if you can't be bothered to get your terms right, why should I bother to read your article?
I really don’t think it’s that simple. Plenty of anarchic places are also aggressively homogenous in the views expressed there and their overall culture (e.g. 4chan and sites like that).

I think in those places aggression simply serves to push people who would think differently out.
Skype and facetime get used a lot for video chat, though.

Of course they know the stuff on screen isn't real. It's what it symbolizes that they're scared of.
>> I think its worthless to find the "optimal" sequence of instructions these days.

That's funny, the difference between Intel and AMD processors performance is on the same order as what an optimizer can do. People are very disappointed in AMD these days because of it. Low level optimization always has and always will be important and people will pay really money for that difference in performance. Getting the right algorithm and having good cache behavior are still important too of course, but too many CS folks keep thinking that's all that matters.
Comment sections are poison because they undermine the ability to control the narrative.
