WHY YOU and most of the media, general population DO NOT GET IT

1.) what is the key difference between TRUE clock time used
by the government and FALSE clock time used by a private email server?
check your clock time on your own home PC. it will vary.
send emails in Arizona with two different time zones or
Daylight Savings Time.
2.) why is this important?
historians and scholars examine the timeline of communications.

Unix sys engineers and admins examine the logs and the
TIMESTAMPS.

TO DETERMINE CAUSALITY.

4.) Hilary has a TIME MACHINE than can shift causality.
see google search for "baseball example" "lamport vs. Vector Clocks"

5.)Even HN readers have not taken distrubted computing course about vector clocks. the media and general public
is clueless.

6.) It's know only WHO KNOWS WHAT, but who knows WHAT and
WHEN. stress the word AND (conjunctive).

7.) Well it seems like a very very good idea... email message can be taken as

DAMN THE TORPEDOES, full speed ahead! or

it was a preliminary thought and I CHANGED MY MIND.
See the timestamps on the Privately Controlled Server.

10.) lessons learned. Sure the Government System Engineer
could be a LIAR and keep moving around the clock time.

But this would affect everyone.

11.) THE Hilary 'time machine' has an effect on CAUSALITY
Determination for the 'historians' or even those who

ELECT THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

so, what's your opinion?
Is meta-data and causality determinants sometimes
AS IMPORTANT as email content?
But you're ignoring the difficulty and worthlessness of these actions. If the company isn't local going to small claims becomes expensive so despite threats almost no one will do it. FTC/BBB does nothing unless there is obvious widespread fraud and how long will a resolution take for you?

>If customers threaten to go to court or report you to the FTC/BBB I can ensure you you will be encouraged to go investigate too.

No you're encouraged to wait until they actually go through the process of taking action then if its cheaper resolve it.

You keep saying most merchants are honest which I agree with but honesty isn't the only reason for charge backs as I mentioned.
if this runs ubuntu 15 and the ssd can be easily replaced, I would consider.

$1299 is too expensive for a chrome book. what chrome book app could use 16gb memory!
Have you written awesome code? More specifically, are you known for having written awesome code?

If not, are you a part of hacker culture? If you are, why are you an "us" and not a "they"?
It's been a while since I read up on the subject for personal reasons, but wasn't one of the problems with ADHD for a long time that getting accurate numbers was hard because of frequent misdiagnosis (actually just diagnosing a depression instead). Especially, because the symptoms were still considered debatable at that time? So maybe, diagnosis shifted dramatically during that time as well?
Why would I use this instead of Google Docs?
Having manners and tact are now things that can get you grouped with the same animals that you are trying to distance humanity from. Well one step closer to idiocracy...
This perfectly sums up why Apple has jumped the shark - resorting to gimmicks like a gold in order to milk customers - there isn't even a pretence that the gold watch is better in any way.

I'm sure it'll make them a lot of money, but it does mark a further change in direction, from consumer electronics to fashion accessories.
The felt on young antlers is worth more than mature bone antlers. What your dog chews on is a relatively low value by-product, like pig ears.
> there are no chains with retail locations selling affordable frames

At most retail chains in the US, there's a small rack of BCGs and safety frames that cost around $30. I know, because I've purchased them as backups.
Yes, but then you also need to stabilize the antenna platform, either physically, or electronically or both. All that increases the cost vs a terrestrial tower where the stabilization requirements will be lower.

Not saying it would be impossible, it would be a fun and interesting problem to work on, but it would be interesting because it seems like there's a nice solution in there at the intersection of all those problems...
Money quote:

"Mr. James wants to not just sell so-called connected devices, or those that can hook up to the Internet, but also install, service and monitor them.

"'Our influence on people’s lives is about to get much more profound,' he predicted, speaking at an industry event in London on Wednesday. 'We at Dixons Carphone are trying to deliver something new. Not equipment but instead your home working. Of course, it includes equipment, but it’s installed, it’s monitored, it’s repaired, it’s kept working at all times.'"

Home-automation, or IoT, will be placing technology into one of the most personal spaces of people's lives, their home. But it isn't going to take-off until its customer experience moves beyond that which only the DIY or Makers can enjoy. This sort of accreted services of IoT is what people need, at least at first, in order to build the confidence needed for this to happen.

Any architect over 70 will tell you this is like the 3rd time home-automation has tried to get air under its wings. For many reasons, but mainly a mix of fractionalization and poor UX, it never grew to the point where it could become affordable. I remember back in the early-2000's the SmartWeb Fridges and stoves that never made it because of cost and other issues. Now mix-in security issues along with the perennial fractionalization and poor UX, and this "future" could end-up like GoogleGlass.

It's going to be fascinating to see how all of this works out.
I just tried it out.
Its very slick, how ever I assigned action item to myself and under action items nothing showed up.

Also the meeting summary was never generated. At least I thought it would be.

Hope this helps
Good point. We moved the "US" qualifier from "students" to "schools" in the title.
What's wrong with the Dell XPS 15 as a linux macbook? I've seen the two side by side and they're practically identical. The only problem is battery life, and I suspect that's mainly a software problem at this point, not hardware.
How did you decide upon the pay-what-you-want pricing model?
> How useful is a ChromeOS? Can you use it yet to develop either ChromeOS apps Chromium itself?

ChromeOS apps are just web apps. There are web-based IDEs which work in Chrome that can be used to develop web apps. So, ChromeOS can be used to develop ChromeOS apps.
That's why functors (in the OCaml sense) are awesome. They let you parametrize a module over a module signature. It's really good if you know your dependencies at compile time. If you don't, you can just use first-class modules to generate the module hierarchy on the fly, though there is a small syntactic cost.
The interface isn't the issue, it's the PowerPoint format.

You can follow the musical graph manually, like people have always done.

Look for artists from the same label as artists you like, look for labels owned by the artists you like, look for artists that have appeared alongside them on compilations, look for compilations/mixes playlisted by them, look for other artists they've collaborated with in the past, look for reviews of records you like and see what other music they compare it to, look up old shows theyve done and see who else performed, look at other shows organized by the promoters of those shows, etc etc etc.

Never be afraid to listen to something just because you like the name or the cover. Also, it pays to check out any record that has the word "afro" in the title and/or a photo of the band standing in front of a spaceship. You can develop your own heuristics :)

http://discogs.com and http://allmusic.com are useful in this regard, as well as good old wikipedia, and reading the notes on the records themselves. And the great thing about spotify et al is that all this can be done in seconds, rather than years.

The big secret to knowing about good music: listening to a lot of shit music until you hit paydirt.
> I think one problem I see with it is that ordinary smart phones won't work because they transmit at around 100mw and they won't reach that altitude, you will need an earth station

From the article:

"When Loon started, Google was testing a system that delivered Internet service to antennas on people’s homes. Mathe explained that this was due at least partly to technology limitations. Project Loon is now capable of sending signals that can be picked up by the smaller antennas on phones."
I'm partial to DO/AWS because I see both Heroku and Modulus as Golden handcuffs [0]. If you like Heroku/Modulus then I would look into things like Dokku/Dokku-alt, Deis, Flynn, etc. All of them support buildpacks so you can probably get your application running and once you have it running on any of those platforms you can run it on any cloud infrastructure that you want and you can even switch clouds fairly easily (spin up new nodes in new cloud, move old nodes out of load balancer).

All of that said I get the appeal of Heroku/Modulus and you might be just fine staying with them until traffic/users require more dynos/servos then looking for alternatives. I can't really suggest moving off H/M without knowing more about your product and how you will need to scale it.

Dots goes further; if you encase some other circles in Dots, they turn into "explosives"; this does not.
It has the same battery life as the iPad you don't need to charge it constantly. Long term things you plug into that port will also tend to charge it.
Then why put a data port on it at all? Either they expect you to do everything through the cloud or they don't. If they expected enough people to plug stuff into it that it was worth putting a USB port on it, that means expect that the same people would sometimes do that while it was charging (given that these things last through a day of heavy use at best). Which means they do expect people to have to use a dongle.
I really like the landing page, but I feel I have to point out one obvious thing:

Your sign-up page[0] not only resembles the one of Basecamp[1], but you chose to actually copy (not like copy from it, but _copy_) the graphics from it? And the graphics features a dude wearing a Basecamp sweater?

I can see why you want to find design inspiration in Basecamp, but for me that stuff is just too close to the original ;)

As I said. Just a friendly pointer. You might want to change that. Other than that I wish you the best of luck, and this looks like a great start and an interesting idea!

There is no need to base64 encode the data on the way in or way out. I cannot think of any APIs that use base64 encoded requests or responses.

Well yes, there's a good chance some of the toys, especially the bigger brand names one will also be affected. But there's also a lot of Australian make and New Zealand made toys here.

I know I could sign up for better coverage of recalls than I currently have, but I'm not going to enter all the toys we have if only ~10% of them have any chance of being monitored.
At work they introduced a page once with links that were not only not underlined but also the same color as the regular text. I sent them a hoary old Nielsen article or two describing why that's a bad idea and people don't want to play Minesweeper with text but they dismissed the article as "too old" and no longer relevant to today's tech-savvy users. Then they had to change it within a couple weeks because no one could find the links.
There are some interesting challenging when scaling this large with any system.

My biggest worry is the ease with which one can accidentally wipe out everything and reset it to factory settings every time you boot up. I might be super careful, but all I need is for my four or seven year old to turn it on wrong, and suddenly I fear I'd have a several hour fix-it session.

If it came with a setting that would let me make changes more permanent (e.g., a BIOS setting), I'd want one in a heartbeat.
Why do you say Google will "never fix" the "lack of apps"? What do you call adding support for running Android apps? Clearly they are working on addressing this, even if they're not there yet.
Is this just a decision matrix for how to spend your time?

It doesn't really draw the sensationalist conclusions that the media is claiming.
Did you read the same article I did? The point was not that people are binary, but that success in executive positions is more binary than it is in other positions, because of the weight of early impressions on respect, the weight of respect on job performance, and the high impact of executives on the organization. You can hire an incompetent fry cook, engineer, or salesperson and train them to do their job (within reason).

I'd rather just get a digest email of all recalls that day or week. Anything critical text me.
As someone with experience of working in remote environments like deserts for weeks at a time, and is thus aware of both the benefits and limitations of technology, can I suggest that you give your smug muscle a rest? I find that people who are at pains to point out how much smarter they are than everyone else get in the way when there's actual work to be done.
Brian from Backblaze here-> this is definitely true. If you ask to have a 5 TByte restore prepared, it will take us a full 22 hours to get that all assembled for you. If you want us to FedEx the prepared restore on a USB hard drive, it will take ANOTHER 24 hours, and if you are in Europe it's more like 48 hours.

And what's luxurious about "backup" as a business is this doesn't bother many customers. As long as we keep communicating to them on the progress, and we assure them they are going to get every solitary bit/byte/jpeg/mp3/movie back - they often tell us to take our time and do it right. For "backup" accurate and durable is about a thousand times more important than "instant gratification".
I have a Samsung chromebook 2 and as far as I know I cannot install linux on it. I believe this is due to the chip architecture however, and my understanding is eventually it should be possible. Am I incorrect in any of this?

Anybody know if you can upgrade the HD or is it some kind of soddered on nonsense?
"Then you suddenly changed the way Posts are seen by people who have already followed a musician’s page to the net effect that an average post is seen by a tiny fraction of the people who have liked the musician."

As Facebook user and band-liker, I don't want to see every post from a band-- just the posts that are relevant to me.

I'd expect that Facebook's current post "boosting" mechanism should work excellently for self-managed, touring musicians: Make a post about a local show, then pay just a couple dollars to "boost" that post specifically to users who like your page and live in the area of the show. The UI for boosting and targeting posts is super easy already, and we should expect it will just keep getting better.

Is the author asking for automation of the posting/boosting for multiple tour dates?
Someone must have really loved that particular model. You can get an Apple-refurbished 2013 15in MBPr for that much.
I do something very similar - a base password made unique by the URL. The pain in the behind is when you're on a site that requires a password change every X days, and you have to make up something else.

> From the point of view of us native nerds

I can't stand nativism anywhere I smell it.
Fun fact: That's how goto worked in the earliest versions of Unix, before the Bourne shell was invented: goto was an external command that would seek() in the shell-script until it found the label it was looking for, and when control returned to the shell it would just continue executing from the new location.

To this day, when the shell launches your program, you can find the shell-script it's executing as file-descriptor 255, just in case you want to play any flow-control shenanigans.
The most important part is TDP, 4.5W versus 15W. Now sure, both processors tick all the boxes, but at the end of the day, you get performance as you put watts in (certainly when you are comparing processors as similar as these two).

So the M will perform perfectly fine for YouTube, web browsing, office etc. but it will suffer significantly in benchmarks (and subsequently any high load / long time situations). Which is a very good tradeoff to make since you get 1/3rd of the power consumption but can run all the important usecases, if the office is what you're targeting.
Ah, I'm glad it's an honest mistake and not intentional behavior. Apologies for thinking ill of clay.io.
Are they getting touch screens mainly to support CarPlay and Android Auto?

That's a big feature IMHO. My use of the car radio is essentially to toggle it from AUX to BT. Integration of my phone would be even nicer.
I've been using daysoft.com without issues. You should still go in for eye exams to make sure your eyes are staying healthy.
How is this true? They specifically say in their own marketing material that this is a machine for "power users".

Power users are not a group that mostly just does "simple web browsing and document processing".

I see your point in general but I don't personally feel that they market it that way.

Ferlinghetti's $65/mo rent in North Beach, adjusted for inflation, would be about $584/mo today. Unthinkably low in central parts of New York City, the Bay Area, or other first-tier metropolitan areas. The workings of the market have seen the attractions of these places, and reserved even the outlying and interstitial areas for rich people. And that is a loss.

But Ferlinghetti's rent reflected that the area was not so built up then, not considered so desirable as it is today. It was an underappreciated gem. In other places, there are other underappreciated gems like North Beach in 1951 (edit: not exactly the same, for the same people, obviously). If you want Ferlinghetti's deal, you'll have to look for one of those. Probably not within commute distance of San Francisco, though.

My point is, what these folks want for their lives matters in a discussion concerning their lives.

You've said, ship 'em out! Retrain them! If they don't want to do those things, do nothing. What I'm going for is: ask them, too.

It makes very little sense to try to have a conversation about solving a community's problem without listening to members of that community.
If recent trends are anything to go by, this will lead in ten years to an oversupply of engineers and then an attendant rise in unemployment and dip in wages, like what's starting to happen with nursing.

should be...

> When a safety issue is raised on one of your kid's toys we send you immediate alerts to make sure you are in the know.

The `kid's` part can also be `kids'`, I think. Maybe. I'm terrible at plural possession.

Google will never fix the lack of apps? I thought they were making progress towards enabling most Android apps to function in ChromeOS?
Owner of a 2013 Chromebook Pixel here - This new model definitely excites me. I've switched between running Debian natively on boot and running Ubuntu in crouton. As a Java/Web developer, my main gripes with the original Pixel are:

-4GB RAM is uncomfortable. Usable, but you need to manage what's running

-Battery life isn't great... I was seeing ~3-3.5 hrs during my 'real use'.

-Overheating - Gets very hot when doing cpu-intense tasks

-Charging time feels like it takes forever.

-Hinge is a little loose and the F-keys are weird, but neither are a deal breaker.

This 2015 model seems to fix almost all of this, with the possible exception of overheating... I guess time will tell. Chances seem high that these will be given out at I/O 2015, but if I can't get a ticket for that I'll still buy one of these immediately. Crouton has come a long way since 2013, but I'm hoping they keep the 'legacy boot' option from the first model - That way you can boot into native linux with ctrl+L or ChromeOS (and later crouton, if needed) with ctrl+D.

If this laptop was 15", it would literally be my dream laptop, however it still checks enough boxes to guarantee that I'll buy one.
Surely those children have fathers?
Picking up is one thing, getting the signal back from the phone with it's small antenna and low power transmitter seems problematic. But perhaps they have solved that somehow. At those distances, I am guessing the uplink would be very limited due to this. Keep in mind, that cellular carriers over time want the signal of each phone reduced. The reason is that for cellular, to get the capacity up, you want to have more cell site, each site re-uses the same spectrum of the site next to it, so if all the phones had higher power they would all be interfering with each other. They just are not designed to go those kinds of distances. Most cell radii is in the 1 - 5 mile type of range usually. Again, for capacity reasons. In the early days when there were fewer towers spaced farther apart the phones had more power (remember the old "brick phones").
So you're saying this is a good time to start a law career?
