Those are two different concepts. Your first argument is that nature has no bearing on your character - I'm not sure I've seen that supported by studies, I thought twin studies seemed to show differently? Your second argument is that one should not punish a person for their relative's action - which seems to be totally off-topic.
You can still create 1.4-style folders with 2.0. The 10 folder limit sucks and they broke their promise with that. I think lot of people would've been happier if 2.0 shares were limited to 10, but an unlimited number of 1.4 shares was still possible.

It's about $4 per charge, at 7cents per kWh... Comes out to $250/yr. I guess they should include it if you live in HI or somewhere else with high-priced electricity, but realistically it is much, much less than, say, sales tax, which they also don't include.
Which is one of the reasons why Arabs are less intelligent than Europeans. It is also one of the easiest things to fix :)

But it's not as if they threw a massive amount of manpower or budget at it. I think Go succeeded more by association (to Google) and the fact that it hits a sweet spot for many people - it produces native code, but does not have the complexity of C++ or the unsafety of C.

I have written a fair bit of Go code. But I will switch to Rust without a second though once the ecosystem takes of. The lack of simple things like generics or algebraic data types in Go is jarring.
In my case it wasn't a mistake, it was a university assignment. That was the assignment where I learned (by omission) how important it is to have source control...
We're not doing it for 6 fish. 6 fish are all we have left this year, whereas it used to be several thousand fish. (Edit: I should say that we have only found 6 in the annual survey. There might be hundreds or thousands in total; I don't know the exact relationship between the sample and the overall population,a nd I'm not sure anyone has an exact number.) We only found out that there are only 6 left about 3 weeks ago. The amount of water allocated doesn't immediately get adjusted to reflect the fish population.

Also, it's not meaningful to look at the water allocation on a water-per-individual-fish basis. What's the point of diverting this water at all? To ensure that there's a flow on a particular river tributary to allow fish to swim upstream to spawn. How much does it need? That's very much a function of the geography of the river - its length, composition, elevation and so on, and the length of time that you need to ensure water flow for successful spawning. Any number of fish, whether it's 6 or 6 million, need to ave water flowing along the whole length of the river if they're to swim upstream to spawn.

So look, if these are in fact the last 6 delta smelt in existence that's sad but I'm not going to lose sleep if they die. Maybe we can put their DNA in cryogenic storage and reintroduce it someday or something. But if we decide to cut off that water, then we have to accept that probably nothing spawns in this tributary of the Sacramento river at all and that whole branch of the river dies, potentially affecting many other species.

If it helps, think of the river like part of the interstate highway system. You can try to save money on maintenance or so, but if a major bridge goes out then whole large sections of freeway become useless.
Many decisions are zero sum if considered in a single moment of time, but not when considered over a longer-term perspective. Obviously the thing being left out is, this wasn't about saving 6 individual fish, it was about saving a handful of the surviving members of a species of fish that they're attempting to repopulate.

Remember "do things that don't scale" - you save 6 fish so in a couple decades you'll be at 60,000.
Act now since big V8s are kind of going out of style. BMW is dropping the V8 from its new M3 and going to a turbo I6, Cadillac's new full-size will have a twin turbo V6 instead of a V8, Mercedes is shrinking the size of its turbo V8 for AMG cars, and even the Mustang will have a turbo 4 cylinder option. In a few years it wouldn't surprise me to only see stuff like the Corvette, Camaro, Mustang, etc. have big 5+ liter V8s.
I don't think you should read too much into a statistical matching of your DNA markers with statistical samplings of populations in which individual samples also vary widely. It's the modern version of those occupational survey systems (Kuder?) that really just tell you what population your answers are most similar to, with very little useful insight.
That's mostly likely true. Assuming you drive 12k miles per year and gas costs $4 per gallon for your 15 mpg premium european sports car. The price for gas over 10 years is: (12,000 / 15) * $4 * 10yrs = $32,000.

The thing is, while I used to know QWERTY fluently, since I switched to Colemak a few years back, I have to hunt and peck a bit on QWERTY keyboards. But it's not a problem when using Swype.

I think this is because you're looking at the keyboard anyway. My guess is that whatever layout you use, it won't be hard to memorize when it's right in front of your face as you use it.
This article is not about FRBs:

Earlier this year, Swinburne University's Emily Petroff was the lead author of a report on the first observation of a fast radio burst (FRB) in real time. Previously, the enormously powerful but poorly understood events known as FRBs had only been detected in the records of large radio telescopes years after they happened.

However, among those records was something else, which astronomers named perytons. The first peryton detected was in 1998, although it was not recognized as such until 2011. Perytons look sufficiently like FRBs that astronomers even speculated that the first FRB, known as 010724, might actually have been a peryton.
The Most Secretive Book in History
Back when I did telecommunication standards, there was a requirement for various ITU standards to contain a Z notation specification. I started to review various books on the topic and but stopped when I found out that the consensus amongst the people I dealt with was that it was very difficult and best left to a professional. I had other things to worry about, so I never spent the time to really understand it.
Because a functioning ecosystem benefits everyone. As someone else pointed out, fish swimming upstream to spawn deposit nutrients from the ocean that help to replenish the land.

On market solutions, they can work in many cases but they're not a panacea. For example, it may be economical for golf course owners to keep using a lot of water because they can make fat money from charging expensive green fees, but that doesn't mean that watering golf courses is more economically efficient over the long run.
Money grab? In some circles, that's called monetization.

The power of logic is that a few well chosen domain specific clauses can reduce the problem dimensionality dramatically.

If you are building a robot, even if the mechanics are not really newtonian, modeling the system mechanically can get a model much closer to the underlying manifold, reduce training set size and improve generalizability. So I don't think the old way of doing things should be thrown out. They got pretty near the right answers, and we should use newer methods to just fill in the gap between theory and practice.

E.g. pre-train a DBN using an analytical model and later adjust it on real data.

Thank you for rejecting me YC
As I looked in my inbox and seen an email from YC, I stopped everything I was doing and had a moment of stillness. A quote from Tony Robbins came in my head "nothing in life has any meaning except the meaning I give it". So before I opened it, I asked myself "what does getting rejected mean? And what does getting in mean?" I knew the odds were against me. I'm a solo founder, I have interactive wireframes completed, and no previous startup experience, but regardless I applied because I know that Bylder will make a real impact on peoples lives. So I decided that if I get rejected I will work harder and smarter than ever. I decided that if I get rejected that I will live with no fear because the worst thing that can happen is that we get rejected. But as long as I learn from this, improve from this, I know I will become a better person, founder, and human overall. So I want to thank you Y Combinator for the opportunity and the hope to apply but also for rejecting me for the YC Summer 2015 batch.

I wish everyone who is got invited good luck. I hope for everyone else to keep their head up and work harder, smarter, and more intense than ever before.

Best,

I really have to wonder why wysiwyg is so difficult on the web when it's a solved problem on Desktop. I recommend looking at what markup iWorks Pages produces when you export to html - it's quite clean. Why not making a simple wysiwyg that

1) doesn't do any styles, it just operates using pure html tags. So no font for example.

2) cleans up empty tag as soon as possible (but at the latest when you hit save).

3) treats newlines as follows: single newline = <br>, double newline = new <p> tag. Regarding <p> tags there is exactly two states: Having one open and having none open.

Does it really have to be that hard?

These proposals at least have the virtue of being easily understanadable. Getting familiar enough with either of them to use efficiently would take time, but at least you'd know where to look for the letters. That's the major downside to QWERTY (it's very arbitrary for most people) and the reason so few people are willing to switch to some other apparently-equally-arbitrary layout.

I can see how the approach here might not be that optimal in technical terms but I think there's huge value in its conceptual simplicity. I find it easy to imagine switching to it and getting up to decent speeds in a reasonably short timeframe, which is more than I can say for other layouts I've looked at over the years. Well done, both of you.
Where do you live that electricity is actually 7c/kWh? I didn't really pay attention to my power bills until I moved to Florida, but down here, the real price is 14-17c/kWh; the actual kWhs are quoted as something like 7c but then they add a 7c/kWh fuel surcharge and additional fees after you cross certain usage thresholds.
So you are in the middle of bell curve!

You are advocating to remove the TLD system. That just decreases the available namespace.

All those hip new services under .rs or .io? That's not because those TLDs are somehow appropriate, that's because they have some even remotely pronounable names available. If you operated the root zone as an open registry, it would all be squatted. All of it.

Most of it would still be for sale however, but with prices no boostrapped start up could ever afford. That's what happens when you make a virtual resource more scarce.

Namespacing the root zone into TLDs makes sense. But it would be better if it was done tastefully. All these new silly TLDs just make everyone lose trust in ICANN.

BTW I'm sorry for my tone, I can see you were trying to contribute to the discussion.

I didn't mean to suggest you were being dishonest and am sorry that I went off on you as I did.

>why don't we just ban exportation of our farmed food in for example a red zone district due to water shortage, i.e. it can only feed us. I bet the water usage would drop significantly.

Or instead of idiotic regulations that will be gamed and filled with loopholes, just make the farmers pay the market rate for water. That will drive up the cost of the farm output enough that it won't be competitive and farmers won't need so much water.
This meme really should die.

It has never been true so there's nothing to forget.

The number of full-time Rust people paid by Mozilla is roughly the same as number of Go people paid by Google.

Mozilla is a wealthy company and while Google is even more wealthy, it doesn't mean that it spends all its money on Go. Both v8 and Dart are staffed with more people and Dart is not taking off the way Go is.

People are trying to rationalize away the explosive popularity of Go with all sorts explanations, the "it's all because it's Google" being one of them.

The simple explanation is: people use Go because it's a good language. That's the big factor in Go's success.
Codes that Changed the World
I'm sorry for the confusion. I just thought when the human population was still small long ago, when there wasn't even a concept of 'incest', inbreeding between ancestors was more common and expected. So we all descended from incestors in today's context. Is that right?
>Did you know you can eat fish? Or you could, if Central Valley growers hadn't killed them all.

I still eat fish, therefore the fact is not true. Your post is nothing more than claptrap not backed up by evidence.
when people debate 'the merits of capitalism', they are almost never debating the same thing.

people who don't like "capitalism" generally mean they don't like the status quo.

people who want 'capitalism' generally mean something which is different from the status quo.

Well, what would it help in terms of NFS? You'd still have to tell NFS to read 20kB. If it's 20kB from one big file or one 20kB file doesn't matter much. it's common to have one file per email and the usual filesystem has no problem with that.
Certainly you can encrypt the email part, But I'm not sure how NSA proof it will be when the whole server is in the RAM of one that you don't control though.

Yep. If you go back 10–20 generations in anyone’s family tree, you’ll find we’re all the product of sexual relationships between first cousins, siblings, parents and their children, etc.
Really? Industry had a habit of causing extinctions? Extinctions have been going on since the beginning of life.
That's the point. An ability to reliably beat the market is like having a goose that lays golden eggs.

If the ability exists at all, it's certainly very rare. And if you are one of the people who has it, why would you hire that ability out to other people? The guy who owns the golden goose is going to sell the eggs, not rent the goose out. Or if he did rent the goose, it would be for an amount no lower than the expected value of the eggs because otherwise he's losing money.

But given these dynamics, that means that there's no reason to think that if you see some guy offering to rent a golden goose it would be a great deal for you. I mean, he's actively trying to price it so it's not, and it's his goose, so he's probably right.
He did. And we have lines of inbred mice we use for experiments. That doesn't change the fact that inbreeding tends to be bad.

(And Arabs /are/ by and large less intelligent than Europeans. That's quite unfortunate for them, for the Arab countries, and -- given the current migration patterns -- for the Europeans. Inbreeding is one of the preventable reasons for their general lower intelligence. Infectious diseases is another. Lack of certain micronutrients a third. The latter two are fixed by moving to Europe, the former not so much.)
I'm pretty sure he was saying 235lb, not kg.
Not really a quitting story but...

My girlfriend had a god awful marketing job a few years back, and the new director was a bit of a sleaze. (Trying to book them in the same room on a business trip etc, etc.) Anyway, he seemed to be quite put off that she wouldn't play ball so to say, so he made up some bullshit to fire her. Being in the Czech Republic, this involves about 5 months severance pay. (Normally you'd have to work for a couple of months before going, but he wanted her gone immediately)

After she signed the legal paperwork for the termination she gave him a big smile and a thank you. She had actually been headhunted a few weeks earlier, for a great job in Italy for a good company at triple her salary. She was about to quit outright (and forfeit the 5 months pay) when he fired her.

Apparently the look on his face was priceless, the company lawyer was desperately trying not to laugh, and my girl said she would enjoy shopping in Milan with his generosity.

Good fun.

On the bottom of the page they state their assumptions. $0.12 per KWH of electricity and $3.90 for a gallon of gas. However I think the price should reflect immediate savings and the gas savings should figure in total cost of ownership.

Maybe. But medallions are a lot easier to manage. They are immune to damage. As far as I know it should be possible to rent them out at a below-market rate with no skill, no risk, and little time invested.

>> I do think your logic holds for many combinations of users and infrequently-used applications.

Do you consider the Facebook app infrequently used? Or virtually every other app in the iOS app store that has a UIControl embedded inside of a scroll view such that highlighting of elements is intentionally delayed? There is certainly a few frames worth of work that can be done while no interruptable animations are occurring and while no interaction is occurring. If you don't believe me, then I suggest you do what I often do: use a very high speed camera and examine your casual usage of an app. You'll find that you are much slower than you think you are.
How to Make Yourself Work
That's the second time I've seen this argument made on HN this week. Why does that make more sense?

If I start typing in my address bar "g" then google.com is the first completion suggestion. If I want to get more specific, I can type "n" and news.google.com becomes the first suggestion. Or "m" and I go to mail.google.com. If we had to write "com." before any of these came up, it would mean a serious loss of productivity for everyone. The current system provides one or two layers of specificity before the TLD, then as many more as you would like (like /item?id=9357898 on the end of this URL, something nobody will every type) - it's ideal for everyday use even if it doesn't fit into some clean sorting method you're imagining or something.
