Thanks for sharing! Really helpful to know.
Wow. I have suffered so much without it, unnecessarily! How can this not be built into the ASP.NET MVC framework?
To add, most of the studies done on rats had "normal dosages" of aspartame for Humans not Rats. In other words the dosage was not relative to the rats mass it was relative to ours.

There does seem to be a difference, though. The US monitors communications, adds backdoors to infrastructure to monitor communications, and injects malware into Iranian nuclear reactors that could be used to make weapons.

China, on the other hand, deliberately attacks anyone who criticises their government. In the US you are perfectly free to say the government are a bunch of fuckwits who should be kicked out of office, if that is your opinion.

I'm not necessarily saying that what the US does is legal or morally acceptable, just that it is more morally acceptable than what China does. It's like the difference between a private investigator illegally breaking into someone's house to gather information, and a gangster going in and shooting everyone.

That sounds helpful. I'll give it a try.
Crocodile tears have been shed.
The problem is that once the medallions were created, they represent a property right, and the Fifth Amendment Taking Clause prevents the government from eliminating them without compensation. And, it's hard to see the argument for spending $16 B to do so.

On the positive front, once Uber switches to robot drivers in the next decade, yellow taxis will probably go away forever, and the medallion system can be eliminated.

Then, the city can be compensated via congestion pricing for the traffic that on-demand cars generate.

I highly recommend checking out Move NY for the most credible congestion pricing plan under consideration: http://iheartmoveny.org/

You called out Vice News which is already on HBO. I'd argue that HBO and Netflix are rapidly converging towards direct competition in the streaming market.
Yes, very much so. The book contains some quite technical walkthroughs of the Amiga, both software and hardware. In enough detail that a technical person will be able to understand more or less exactly what's going on, but without requiring any knowledge about the Amiga.
I have a path to avoid: embedded programming. Its low level c and being increasingly marginalized due to moores law. Its a field dominated by accidental complexity and wheel reinvention on its path to irrelevance.
Don't under-estimate the power of single layer neural networks--classifiers. They're much cheaper to train effectively and avoid over-fitting. Also, I've had good results using multiple classifiers that essentially cast votes and adding on hand-crafted heuristics to look through the top vote getters.
I commonly bookmark stuff that looks like it would be worth my while to read later. I even have several bookmark folders so I can classify the topics.

I never got the hype about saving endangered species. I am for ecology when it comes to contamination - clean water, air, soil are really invaluable. But when it comes to saving species then keep in mind that 95% of all species that ever lived are already extinct (dinosaurs being most famous example). So I personally don't care whether earth has 95,000 or 94,994 spiecies of fish. But I care about water that would be wasted to save them.
A lot of the rejected companies are confused as to why they didn't get into YC or are behaving as if it's some great mystery. Looking at some of their websites though it kind of seems like they just didn't read Paul's essays. If I can't visit your website and immediately understand your business that is a red flag. People are always fancy-fying and abstracting the descriptions of their businesses. Most of the businesses websites I see applying to YC are less of "We sell apples. Use our product. Get you some apples." and more of "We create high level fruit distribution mechanisms. Currently we are supporting Apples in our network. We plan to support other fruits in the future. We're gonna REVOLUTIONIZE the way you acquire fruit." If I was at YC I would be looking for people who physically described what their company does; I see a lack of that in the rejected companies.

People who were fired for being flash developers came back and designed the same stuff with Ajax/JavaScript.

We're still stuck with badly designed sites. At times you can just use a simple hyperlink to open a document and don't need a JavaScripted window that breaks apart on mobile browsers with small screen size.
You can't use the super secret laser snooper on small fish. So even if it exists, it's still reasonable to have other venues.
How many hours do you work a day (developers)?
After 3 in-place jobs, I've been working at home for three months now. One thing I have noticed is that I can deliver a comparable ("samey") amount of progress in less hours of pure work.

At my office-located jobs, I waited to complete 7-8 hours of work (excluding chit-chat, etc) in order to feel satisfied. Now I can do with 4:30 on average. For me being interruption-free is a huge boost.

Personally I do believe in measuring effort in work-hours. Assuming you feel optimal (which I constantly make sure of), the more time you spend the more you get done. Also, 90% of webdev does not require that much creative hard-thinking imo.

My question simply is - do you find 4:30 of work a day acceptable (for you)? And marketable (for employers to accept it)?

Anyway, feel free to post how many hours you work, and what you think about it.
The reason they attacked github is because github was hosting greatfire and cn-nytimes.
That's interesting. I made and launched Reapp a couple months ago and one thing I noticed was the absence of any support from the React team. Not a single retweet from the React account (who are very active at supporting community projects), not a single React team dev commented on it. I had to ask them for some love, so in response they favorited a tweet of mine.. Meanwhile the same day react-canvas launched and nearly all of them were very active helping promote it.

Needless to say I got the message. Don't step on their toes! During the React Native launch video they said, basically, "the web doesn't work for native".

Anyway, I'll continue to port the cool stuff from Native back to Reapp. I don't hold anything against them, in fact it's nice to hear they are actively pursuing bringing stuff from Native back to the web. I look forward to seeing what comes of this.

I've been stuck in file watching hell before... CHOKIDAR!!!!!

I actually had a really interesting conversation with Bert Belder about some of the lower level problem with file watching. It came up that perhaps there could be a working group around fixing this issue.
I run my main Linux development system under VMWare on OSX (on an rMBP) and it is awesome. I love it. Sometimes I forget OSX is even there.
I never cared about Flash, but I absolutely loved developing in Flex. Was always sad that getting rid of Flash meant losing Flex, too.
systemd is 100% free software, unlink Windows. systemd has a command line interface unlike most Windows tools. And I don't know what is the Windows init system but I doubt it is similar to systemd. It's probably much closer to the Mac OS X init than Windows'.

Seriously, it does not make any sense to say that systemd is a "Windows" approach.
Technocracy discussion on Reddit
hah thanks ;) I do use both languages frequently, fixed.
It's interesting to see how many places in the world are trying to bring about their own Startup Row esque thing. Interesting to see where it will flourish.
I saw this technocracy discussion on reddit. I was wondering if HN would throw in their two bits? Or you know, maybe more than two bits. What do you guys think of a technology driven government?
The eOS devs do seem to take a lot of cues from Apple.
I've seen some back of the envelope numbers [1] but not good data. It does seem pretty clear though that, in contrast to eBooks, printing is a pretty substantial part of the overall costs. I've heard it said that, as a rough rule of thumb, subscriptions plus single-copy purchases historically covered the physical printing and circulation of the paper while advertising covered everything else (plus profit).

The problem is that you can't just move ad revenue from print to digital.

Flash also started as vector based animations. It allowed large graphics that were very small in size. Not a small matter back when most home users were connecting on 56k modems. This is a time when a medium sized image would take 30 seconds to load in your screen.

It was simply mind-blowing at the time to see a page with rich graphics that would load so quickly.
Building Resource Adaptive Software Systems (BRASS)
> Systemd is much more a "Windows" approach to system
> configuration management

I can't see your Windows analogy. The Windows init system compares badly to everything in play here - it doesn't make the system observable or discoverable or give power to the user or do a good job of centralising control.

There would be a comparison to Mac OSX, which has rounded the corners of init with its own approach.

It's also worth mentioning that all mainstream unix (even OpenBSD) deviates from unix philosophy in places. A trivial example - the way that /bin/ls changes behaviour depending on whether it's outputting to stdout or to pipe. If there's a gold standard, it's Plan 9. And almost nobody uses that.

For Android, I've been using DroidEdit and DroidScript (and DroidScript lets you compile Javascript to an apk, without the hassle of setting up Cordova).

I also have Bit Web Server for php.

I haven't found a good option for Javascript console debugging on Android. (not linking to your PC to debug like Chrome does, I mean using the JS console on my phone)

My problem is the lack of a clip-on physical keyboard. I'm looking for a clip-on keyboard like the way the Moga controller clips on to my phone. The iControlpad2 would have been nice, but that project turned out to be a fraud. I have a qqtech mini bluetooth keyboard, but without a clip-on capability it's hard to use on the subway.

I saw clip-on keyboards that work only with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4), but that's no good because I'm upgrading soon.

I wanted to make some pictures to go with the article, but I didn't have time (I wanted to get the article out quickly as there was so much curiosity and speculation about the methods we used). I just tried adding a quick hack to cga2ntsc to output the waveforms and viewed them in an audio package, but the result wasn't terribly elucidating. Perhaps I will redo the article with more pictures at a later date.

The fact remains that nothing that can be analyzed on a single computer in a single threaded application in a single memory space is anything like "big data", unless you just want to tap into the trend of buzzword-laden link bait inbound marketing.
This has been around for several years. I tried to get a large company I worked at to use it to complement our internal machine learning algos.

We decided not to send data to google because we weren't sure about how it would be used or stored. I wonder if that was paranoia from management or if anyone else on HN feels the same way about using a third-party for intellectual property initiatives.
If you do decide to go with php, I would use Laravel which is essentially php on rails.

Ask HN: Should I testify?
I've been contacted by a major law firm to testify against a former employer about how they've broken California and federal law. I have proof and witnessed it from a bunch of people inside so I'm not worried about that part.

But what will this do to my career? Now when people google me, they find good stuff like projects and presentations and blogs posts. They won't let me be anonymous and the employer is prominent and popular here so people will find out. What happens if they find this instead? Would it be a deal killer if I applied at your company?

I'm looking for career advice here, not legal advice. I have enough of that.
Scientists think they have spotted the only black flamingo in the world
When visiting Reno when I was living in San Francisco. I see huge potential for that city. But it would need to invest in incentivizing startups to grow out of Reno vs the bay area which is a 3hr drive.

If UNR has a CS department then it needs to reach-out to it's current student body and make considerations for creating a market for tech in Reno.
The take home message is that there is very large class (probably a majority) of data analysis problems for which SQL databases are very well suited. Though PostgreSQL would be a better choice.

And while we're at it, we may want to consider a) defining some indexes and b) buying a little more RAM
No, journald has its own benefits. Creating an alternative to some software doesn't mean you have ill will towards it.

The other worry of course is that google suddenly decide to shut it down like they did with quite a few APIs such as the translation API (After some back and forth they actually kept translation API but charge quite a lot for it).
i think this is prevalent in non-autonomous cars as well. The motion/bumps move causes your eyes to constantly readjust and in some causes a nausea type feeling
This is a very well-polished distribution in terms of usability and user interface. I don't care actually if they ripoff some good design examples as long as it gives a good overall feel. And it certainly does. I remember it was one of the fastest growing linux distribution some time ago...
"The problem is that those terms are vague enough that they can be construed to apply to pretty much any software."

Bingo. Amazon has it's fingers in everything. Games, machine learning, language development, OS development, distributed computing, general algorithm development, video... It's pretty much impossible to find anything that doesn't "compete" with the company.

For the hackathon, we decided to get the React Native 2048 example playable in the browser. We got started after the kickoff at 11AM, and we had it playable by lunch: http://i.imgur.com/UY5ojXZ.png

We really do care about the web, and before very long we will be able to build great apps for web and on native, with a lot of code re-use. (And if you're willing to hack it, then you can do that today!)
I predict that there will be a kickstarter for a small attachment that will provide 3+ ports. A port extender that is attached to the side.

One port is not enough when that port is used to charge the device.

You can't even use a logitech mouse unless it is bluetooth capable!

For those of us who equals 'right' with 'the way Apple does it'? Serious question; I am unfamiliar with this particular distro, and I've tried using a Mac and couldn't get used to it.
2007 is in the title, but this is more relevant than ever. Windows 8 is really the only OS where Microsoft has started getting scaling for high DPI right (not just text, but layout too), which is too bad given its chilly reception.

Windows 7 is pretty brutal looking on a retina laptop, since your choice is either use their broken DPI scaling, which basically results in really ugly layout, or you can lower the resolution. If you've ever tried running an LCD at a low resolution you know why that's not great. The other thing is that for some reason Apple's bootcamp drivers won't let you run at half resolution where the pixels would at least still be square. (My laptop resolution is 2880x1800, but for some reason I can't scale to 1440x900. I'm not sure if this is just an oversight by apple, or they're just giving windows users the middle finger)

Microsoft isn't really the only entity that should be taken to task though. My impression of GTK and Qt is that they also scale things really poorly. (I haven't tried it in linux, but try running QtCreator demos on a windows 8 machine running at 200% scale.. a lot of them are pretty brutal.)
Can anyone comment on using this vs http://prediction.io/ ?
This article feels like some weird alternate history where Bigtable never existed.
I think if they could have got a version of the Amiga into the same price range as a video game console, they probably would have been ok. The pricing at PC levels meant it was a "family" decision and the PC was going to get picked.

The other problem is the Amiga never had Adobe as a developer. That would have made a huge difference.
Google didnt shut down translation API. They just started charging for it and people who were used to getting it for free considered it dead.

Personally, I would prefer that Google charge for its services. Its certainly better than advertising or trying to monetize users' data.

plotly is awesome. A lot of companies spending $50k + a year on BI software can do better (and save a ton of money) by throwing plotly iframes on some simple static webpage and update them at any interval using cron jobs and python.
There's tech companies planning to add a little hope for Vegas and Reno alike with datacenters being opened up in the area due to the super low costs while still maintaining some general proximity to southern California.

Unfortunately, all these announcements of companies opening up datacenters in random, low-cost areas of the US such as North Carolina seem to imply that these will bring the same sort of tech jobs as Silicon Valley in some way when this is pretty unlikely to actually add permanent jobs that are much more than commodity McDonalds-level employment. Modern datacenters are basically fancy warehouses and are engineered for maximum autonomous operation (I think we have robots that can rack & stack 1U and 2U boxes now actually depending upon server vendor). These places are typically being constructed by people barely making more than minimum wage and can barely spell Cisco, and they're not going to be the ones actually running anything either except occasionally fixing up shoddy work that probably doesn't even meet the really relaxed electrical and commercial building codes.

But once these DCs are up and the cables installed, they're managed pretty much remotely as a rule and the jobs of racking and stacking are fast disappearing. Sometimes your network guy has to drive out to the DC, sometimes people engineer around entire racks failing due to a PDU going down, anything to avoid putting a higher-paid engineer on the ground there. There's almost no Fortune 500 I know of that has a datacenter that isn't trying to decommission most of theirs, so while each DC being raised up is theoretically more jobs in disadvantaged areas, this comes at the cost oftentimes of losing 2-3 more datacenters with 2-3 times more jobs in slightly higher costs of living areas like Missouri, southern Virginia, Michigan, and Indiana.
