Some people just talk out of their asses, Yahoo has been for a long time a big player when it comes to be technically exceptional.

They were doing all the big data stuff we see as "cool" way before it was cool.
Jake, is that you? (Jake Weisz made an almost identical assertion on G+) Do you not understand the concept of alphabetic ordering?

Do you really believe Google is trying to hide their relationship to the OHA? The OHA was announced and formed on Day 1 of the Android release (http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/press_110507.html)

No one out there is under any illusion that Google didn't put together and lead this consortium. What else would they do? You make an OS, one that is free of charge and open, and you need hardware and software partners onboard, the only way to do that is to adopt some venue for collaboration.

ZStack: The In-Process Microservices Architecture
For comparison, here's what Google did in Germany: After a law was passed requiring all search engines to pay newspapers for using "small sections of text", Google gave newspapers two alternatives: Either they gave Google perpetual, royalty-free access to all their content, or they would be removed from search results.

Given how much of their traffic and online revenue comes from Google they all agreed, rendering the law moot.

That strikes me as a very similar situation.
Sometimes preventing fragmentation of the network is more important. A mobile operator can't, for instance, use licensed spectrum to run a service that doesn't interoperate with others or with emergency services - even if it's free.

If Verizon were to sign up for this, it would fall foul of FCC's rules too (it is clearly paid prioritization when all websites that don't pay are blocked.) It's not for nothing that net neutrality laws in a bunch of countries (Chile, the Netherlands, Brazil and probably a few more) explicitly forbid zero-rating.
This isn't true. Of course there's a lot of math under the hood for Watson and in particular for Chef Watson. Yes, various parts of Watson also have the ability to do arithmetic too - although it's not designed to be something that you can ask to solve your differential equations homework.

What we have done (as I work on Watson and specifically on Chef Watson), is give Watson the ability to parse natural language recipes and information about ingredients from a variety of different sources. We've also hooked it up with nutrition information and various food databases - including some that break down the individual chemicals in each ingredient and identify the way in which different ingredients and components relate to one another.
Do you mean if it were offered on ALL platforms, it wouldn't be a violation?
They raised at least $100m. An editor is probably the most important developer tool. Their basic service is free. I would imagine their investors (mainly a16z) would be delighted if they delivered a highly used programming editor.
That plant stopped generating in 2012, so I'm not seeing the connection to last week's power outage.
I think the more accurate statement is: cars are expensive.

Any car theft will hurt a lot for most people.
FB will love for "the next billion" to be in the walled garden internet of FB. More people to advertise to, no competition.
If you get to the offer stage - you met the bare minimum requirements. Depending on the field and other number of applicants - that could mean you have "5 years experience" and not much else. It doesn't always mean you sold yourself best in your resume & cover letter.

It's a bad business decision from their starting perspective. The ability to change their minds and onboard them to invest their time/money into your business is good for your business (or your employers' business). Therefore, companies look for people who are good at negotiation. It's a large part of how business/companies operate. Ever try giving an elevator pitch? A person who can successfully onboard someone in under two minutes is a very, very valuable employee to have because they will be good at winning your business more business.

Overselling yourself or convincing a business to make a bad decision happens sometimes. Not necessarily on purpose! But if a salesman/marketer does this often enough, people stop doing business with them. People prefer to do business when it is mutually beneficial.

Given a choice between two employees of equal merit - the one who can negotiate will always be the more valuable asset to the company. (But then that isn't really equal merit... is it?)
Github was bootstrapped from 2008 until finally taking $100M in 2012. I don't think they needed the money, so they probably got it on really good terms. I don't think the investors have much sway in daily affairs nor control of the board.

Projects like this can have marketing or brand value far beyond the cost of two engineers. Also, it seems like parts of atom.io could eventually be integrated right into the github website.
It's important to keep in mind that telco's arguments, that they are losing money or finding it hard to recover their investment costs, have been thoroughly debunked: http://capitalmind.in/2015/04/telecom-companies-are-not-losi...

If that were the case, there wouldn't be a problem. But it isn't. Google requires phone makers to comply with a stringent set of 'compatibility' guidelines in order to license any of their closed-source apps. See http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/googles-iron-grip-on-...

I love seeing quantitative attempts to study social dynamics, even if it's tricky to extrapolate them to other environments. There definitely seems to be a growing research consensus that people with emotional intelligence--sensitive to others, good at team-building--are more important than previously thought, especially relative to, say, technical skill.

One thing I'm very curious about, with respect to this study's findings, is the relationship with similarly-convincing research about the important of private offices and minimizing distractions. The two aren't totally exclusive, of course, but there is at least some tension:

For example, we now know that 35% of the variation in a team’s performance can be accounted for simply by the number of face-to-face exchanges among team members. We know as well that the “right” number of exchanges in a team is as many as dozens per working hour, but that going beyond that ideal number decreases performance.

That style of interaction does sound a lot easier to facilitate in an open-plan office.
@miteshashar Typed it too fast I guess. Will correct.
c-l-i for me.
I've been using Atom for a few months now for projects in various languages. I like the UI and haven't had any issues with it. Performance has been fine for me although I am using a high-end MacBook. The limit on opening files over 2MB is a little annoying but it's rare I need to edit files that large.
that is from 7 years ago...
It's pretty performant with large data sizes. The number of dimensions has impacted performance more in my experience, and there's a hard limit of (I think) 16 maximum dimensions.
"This is what happens when you attack meritocracy in the name of making people feel good."

Calling the tech industry a meritocracy is an assumption.

There are plenty of well thought out viewpoints that disagree, its probably worth reading some.

The article is unfortunately something that's been happening in Europe for some time. It's just now that the tooling and toys is starting to become prevalent in the US. Europe has the "advantage" of being able to simply drive a car to its ultimate destination in Africa or Russia, and getting cars out of England doesn't require much more effort.

"How much worse could it be in Europe?"

Last month, Range Rovers in posh areas of London were being stolen so often that police were instructed to pull over any Range Rover in the vicinity to confirm it was being driven by its owner, the paper reported—which seems to be an extraordinary measure.

It’s problematic enough that Scotland Yard has published bulletins on it, and has a website about the kinds of thefts and how to prevent it:

Just to be clear - there are good and legitimate startup events/pitches/conferences. And there is a sea of parasites.
You just have to be over the legal limit [0]. We're not talking about anywhere near lethal amounts. So...drink 3 beers instead of 2? Obviously it depends, but because it's such a low percentage, this is not an issue.

This is great work! There has been a recent shift in the last few years of limiting customization to "cover photos" instead of full backgrounds. In the Myspace days, this would have been a goldmine.

Twitter still allows this type of customization and I see many marketers customizing profile backgrounds as another way to push their brand imaging.

I wonder if there's value in using this for editing of cover photos for various social platforms like Twitter & Facebook.

When Clinton's election campaign starts funding hit pieces about the obvious gender bias in mining and garbage collection industries, I'll start taking this narrative seriously.

Until then, keep being a sucker for #hilary2016, HN.
I've worked for a number of employers that violated state and federal laws, in fact one asked me to lie on in a federal court on their behalf.

Ive always kept my mouth shut for the same reasons... most employers are doing something wrong, and no one likes a tattletail.

The limiting factor is how much value you add to their business. That can be a lot, eg. I could easily imagine patio11 adding $50K of value in a week's time by introducing a marketing campaign that sells $500K of product, or Matasano adding that much value by fixing a security hole that would cost more than $1M in lost goodwill.

One of my fiancee's B-school professors specializes in pricing theory. He can make several million dollars in one consulting engagement, because he tells companies where they should price their products to maximize revenue, and so he just needs to charge some fraction of ($new_revenue - $old_revenue), which is usually measured in millions.
I'm sure you're aware that switching over to Ubuntu is not nearly so simple, so I don't need to explain hardware compatibility, backing up data, cross-platform app availability, etc. If it were really so simple, System76 and Dell's Project Sputnik would not be such big deals.

Google also competes against Yandex and Baidu, to name just two. That Yahoo uses Bing for their back-end doesn't change the fact that they're a legitimate competitor as well. It's possible Yahoo will revive their in-house search technology once their deal with Microsoft expires, too.

And speaking of counterfactuals, we can't just ignore Bing's existence because "Microsoft may tire of it". Any company would hypothetically be a monopoly if all their competitors gave up...

Cab companies have been running this promotion on New Year's Eve since as long as I can remember, it's not a new idea.
Yeah, this is a terrible idea, for all the reasons people have already listed. Perverse incentives, easily gamed.

You have to wonder how these kind of things even get past the initial brainstorming sessions. It only takes a couple reasonably intelligent people a bit of discussion to come up with why this is not a good idea.

But maybe Uber knows what they are doing, or how to handle the downsides. I'm skeptical.
The hassle of keeping your team tight
My partner and I go through the same issues every few months. We have a lean startup & we're in the early stages of development. Our entire team works remotely & I try to keep the dialog as an engaging as possible, while promoting my employees to speak their mind and innovate. The struggle we're having is keeping talent for more than a few months. I cant tell if the fire just stops burning for them or their is something we're not doing correctly. Some insights and advice would be great as I'm loosing patience in this grueling process.
Ask HN: Has anyone else been booted from PH for being “not quite a product?”
We were trending on Product Hunt, and then removed by the moderators for being "not quite a product." Has anyone else had this experience?

Interested in finding out more - there doesn't seem to be any set criteria, and what's worse is many of our competitors have trended to top spots. Wondering if anyone else has run into this.

I still remember the first time I read about Bingo Card Creator. I immediately dismissed the idea. But as noted in the article, it was a small brick and he kept stacking them and look how far he has come.

Thanks to his advice, I have also made decent progress in my own career. As a thank you, I wanted to get him a gift as a token of appreciation. And here's what he replied:

"Nope. I tend to just buy things that I want, considering my wants are generally small."

Violating no-fly zones and landing something with spinning blades, unannounced, in a public area is hardly the best way to deliver your grievances to members of Congress.

But let's not fool ourselves: if Mr. Hughes had instead taken the Metro and walked up to the Capitol Building, his letters would still be ignored by his representatives.
If so, it's an odd way to go about it.

There's a huge number of location data aggregators out there, including Acxiom, Infogroup, Localeze, Factual, and dozens of smaller startups trying to get into the space.

They each sell their data for what I think are incredibly expensive amounts, but still far less than the cost to acquire 4sq.

They all have various amounts of trust and vetting of location data - that said, Foursquare is among the lowest in terms of trust. They've been trying to crack down hard on it for the last few years, but are still way behind the curve.
Would you argue that Google was never a start-up?
It's painful sometimes, like the wait the first time I want to jump to a file in a project while 50k files get re-indexed, or the slow regex replace. Or the cludgy add ons that spew errors out onto the screen and console windows.

In spite of all the flaws I think it's only a matter of time until Atom is better than sublime and continues to improve beyond that, while being open source.
It seems to be checking if the server is patched I got "Cannot discern patch status of willcipriano.com, and it doesn't appear to be using IIS. This most likely means it is not vulnerable." when I checked my own site. So likely it isn't attempting to use the exploit.

KeeLoq was widely used back then. Careless users make it theoretically vulnerable to replay attacks, but it's rarely exploited.

That's a conspiracy theory, not evidence. But if you're suggesting that's what's behind the extortion claims, I wholeheartedly agree.
Most college campuses already do something similar with safe ride programs. Such programs are usually seen as a good thing, in my experience.

The amount of alcohol needed to be over the legal limit is actually remarkably small and Toronto and other major cities they might possibly do this promotion in aren't exactly known for cheap drinks. Based on that and the high probability that a person who goes out drinking in a major city will not venture too far from their residence, I expect that two drinks would usually be more expensive than a ride home.

Uber fucks up plenty of things that are worth taking issue with, it is my opinion that this is not one of those things. I think most people should see this as a morally positive promotion.
For this example, I agree that it makes very little sense. The question you really need to ask yourself whenever you are making an `enum` is: Does it make sense that this type is restricted to a predefined selection of instances? There are times when the legitimate answer to this question is "yes", and in those cases go ahead and make an `enum` and enjoy its benefits.

If you can afford the JVM (hardware wise and startup time wise), I think Scala wins hands down.

Now, people will say "Scala will be better for it's type system and correctness, and Go will be better for performance/network applications". But they'd be wrong.

You can check out here:

https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

If you compare scala (scalatra in this instance) vs. Go for multiple queries, you can see Scala's more performant than Go. Part of this is because the Go GC is still new, while the JVM has had a lot of time to tweak things. For network apps, Scala plays quite nice with Netty, which is the JVM's non blocking asynchronous network framework.

So, I think you should learn scala if you want to stick with server side code. However, some reasons you may not want to pick scala:

1. You'll be more productive quicker with Go. I think C# folks can be productive with Scala right away, but from python it will take you some learning.

2. Tooling. Scala's tooling is sub par compared to some other languages, so there's definitely a period of learning the language where you don't know enough to get a productivity gain, but the tools can still frustrate you.

3. JVM startup time. I imagine Go is always the better choice for anything client side.

I'm of the opinion that even if you don't think Google has been evil with Google Apps / Android licensing so far, there's ample legal room for them to do so.

For example, having prevented anyone from developing high quality mapping alternatives by freely (with license agreement) offering Google Maps to OEMs, they decide that in order to install Maps on Android your device must now do the following:

- include additional tracking information and report same to Google

- include a facility to prevent the user from uninstalling or disabling this tracking functionality

... if you do not agree to this then, we're sorry, you'll have to find another mapping provider. Or ship a mobile device without a mapping solution.

Have they deliberately distorted the market in a way that's beneficial for them in the long term by destroying competition? You'd better bet your ass. They've just done it more insidiously than 90s Microsoft. After all, how evil can something that's given away freely (as in beer) be?

How will my working 60 hours on something improve the work life balance of people in extremely poor bargaining positions?

It seems to me it might even make their bargaining position worse. There is less need for people who can accomplish the task the more any given individual can accomplish on their own and the more people there are who can accomplish that task. Monopolising the potential pool of work is a bad thing just to get more money that I don't need.

Yes, let someone else do more work. Perhaps someone who wouldn't have chance to work otherwise. And in my free time maybe I'll spend some of that money I make, and that will create even more jobs - providing people in other parts of society with a better bargaining position as well as those who share in the pool of work; the pool of mutually beneficial need; that I enjoy....

The idea that if I work 60 hours at some esoteric piece of technology the work life balance of people who don't have the leverage to achieve a comparably small working week will get better strikes me as nuts. There's no plausible mechanism connecting the two being shown.

You're talking about business concepts (a dating site) I'm talking about more fine-grained concepts (swiping between potential dates).

If you cloned Tinder, pixel for pixel, and added a couple of extra controls, your app would fail. Tinder already has a huge userbase and you have a userbase of zero, and the minute benefit provided by your app would be outweighed by having no users on it.
