OK: "Hi Ben, what are your views on rates?"
Still OK: "Hi Ben, John Smith is in your old seat, what do you think of him, what does it imply for our strategy?"
Less OK (I think, still legal in FICC although not in equities): "Hi Ben, mind giving John a call before his morning press meet to check what he's going to say" [1]
Really bad (if somewhat unlikely): "Hi Ben, John's going to be more bullish than expected, but we have a fairly large short on; mind having lunch with him this week before the next meeting and try change his mind?"

The Carlyle Group (headquartered in Washington, unlike, at the time, most of the industry) is probably the most famous for hiring fresh-off-the-administration politicians [2], and being "lucky" with portfolio companies and defence contracts. Disclaimer: I'm of course not implying they are related in any way; could just be that their better insider knowledge allowed them to present a more appropriate offer in those cases.

Signing doesn't require I/O and can be massively parallelized.

This is exactly "maximize consumption, ignore pollution, expand at all costs". When you decide that your use of energy / matter transcends all other purposes (including the evolution of other life) then exactly what are your priorities?
It's obviously not quite the same, but Microsoft supporting Android apps on Windows Phone reminds me of IBM supporting Windows apps on OS/2. Supporting your competitor's apps can prevent some immediate suffering by users, but it isn't a good strategy for an ecosystem.

If people end up mostly running the emulated apps on your OS, you might as well just use that other OS, and run those apps on it natively, for the best experience. And figure out a way to run your ecosystem on top of that. Specifically here, that would mean for Microsoft to switch to Cyanogen for its devices, and ship a .NET runtime so Windows Phone apps can work on it.

I doubt that's a great idea, but I think it's better than emulating Android apps on top of Windows Phone. I'm just guessing here though.
More than a third of people in my country (US) do attend those events, and they are teh de-facto social outlets in many communities. Great to have alternatives.

> Why wouldn't it be a huge mycelium?

Why hadn't it? I mean, not only doesn't it posses a drop of intelligence, there isn't even something similar that does. And that's after billions of years. My guess is something like this - intelligence is the most powerful evolutionary weapon and due to the way evolution works, you only get that weapon if you have to survive among powerful adversaries. However, intelligence is of no use if the species can't react fast enough according to changing circumstances. Something with mycelium's structure can't run, can't hide and can't attack fast enough. If it somehow evolves to the point it could, it would start resembling existing intelligent species.

> More so it's entirely unclear why the life should have to be intelligent - or intelligent in a individual-animate-tool-building-animal kind of way.

All life doesn't have to be intelligent and it's not, even here on Earth. It's just that here we are discussing intelligent life that can build stuff.

> I'm very unconvinced that even Human civilization or life (should it survive for another 10,000 let alone 100,000 or a million) years will resemble anything like the organic individuals

Come on, we've had millions of years of evolution and we're still monkeys with less hair. Unless we start meddling with our DNA and/or actually develop artificial intelligence, we won't be changing much.
Samsung was getting close to having a viable Google Play alternative bundle of services/apps with their "S" collection but they seemingly bailed on that with their latest Google agreement. I think that left an opening for Microsoft to step in with their cloud.

You can have ssh access, that's not yet implemented but it's on the list. All the instances run in their own private containers so you can install other apps if you want.
Don't apologize for being asocial
adjective aso·cial \(ˌ)ā-ˈsō-shəl\ : rejecting or lacking the capacity for social interaction

"It's important to get out and meet people." "People should have a balanced life." "Humans are social creatures."

If you're an asocial person, you've probably heard one or more of the above phrases and perhaps felt that there is something wrong with you, that you're "imbalanced", or that you aren't even human. As an asocial person myself, I'm sometimes uncomfortable after someone tells me how I should feel about social interactions. It’s not their fault, though. These folks who insist on the virtue of sociality are just the product of many thousands of years of evolution in which early close-knit tribes were more successful than others. Back then, being social really was essential to survival because tribe members needed to know about each other’s whereabouts, skills, ambitions, etc. For better or worse, the world has changed considerably, and it’s no longer necessary to be social in order to make a contribution and be a productive member of society. Furthermore, asocial folks can be quite pleasant, may lead projects at work, and may even socialize outside of work often, but don’t particularly enjoy it. There is really nothing wrong with this, and you shouldn’t feel bad about it. If recent history is any indicator, humans will continue to become less social as communication tech becomes even more pervasive. Is this bad? Should you spend effort being more social to combat the trend? Only if you want to.
By the way there is a huge tech connection to this story:

The man behind the Pepsi challenge was John Sculley, who while he is know for firing Steve Jobs also came up with a few amazing products like the Mac II, HyperCard and making CD-ROMs a standard addition to a PC.

I haven't personally been to one of their events but met the founder (Ankit) by chance a few months back through a mutual friend who has been to a few. Definitely seems like a genuine guy who's passionate about the idea and being rightfully cautious about expanding at a pace that ensures all their events are of high enough quality with good hosts to guide good conversation.

If they're in your area definitely be sure to try an attend an event, I know I will be assuming I ever beat the waitlist in San Francisco.

People are still splicing movie film with razors and glue too. I wouldn't say it's a "different art form" any more than acrylic is a different art form than oil or tempura (paints in case you're wondering) -- indeed film photography + darkroom technique is closer to digital photography + Photoshop technique than oil is to acrylic. There are different tradeoffs, and for 99.9% (or more) of uses the tradeoffs favor digital.
The title is incredibly hyperbolic. A more accurate title would be "Microsoft OneNote to be pre-installed on the YU Yureka and Alcatel Idol phones". That's literally all this is. That's the only customers for CyanogenOS, and that's the extent of this partnership. They're still shipping google apps on the phones, it's still Google's android, and this doesn't affect CyanogenMod. Microsoft is just shoving their foot in the door.

Microsoft apps being pre-installed on the new Galaxy S was much bigger news.
Typically, the terms of a retainer include committed response times and notice requirements from customers. The shorter, truer, but less useful answer is that by the time you have so many retainers that collisions occur, you've also begun hiring other consultants to work for your practice on a W2 basis.
> language clauses that allow them to grant access to the rooms to third parties with "reasonable need"

It's already almost certainly there. Its also there in virtually all rental agreements; the existing caselaw (cited in this decision) supports the position that using the managements authority to access for 'need' as a pretext for a search is unlawful.
Honestly, I find a purely libertarian country to be an exciting and great project. Yet it may be too great to be achieved. With a territory of just 7 km^2 and with almost nothing at all already done (no people, no economy, no buildings, no services…) it pretty much seems as an utopic idea and like the country won't last too much. Just hope they get some progress soon…

For me, the one compelling thing about CyanogenMod -- the only thing keeping me on the platform -- is the ability to control app permissions. Google looked like it was going in that direction with the "App Ops" control, but that's gone now.
I am very much in love with this idea. There's a chicken-and-egg problem, though, where I live in a city that I doubt will get a host spontaneously (Amarillo, TX) but I'd want to attend one of these to get a feel for it before I'm willing to host one myself. I wonder if there's an opportunity there, to have a sort of "training materials" that can better bootstrap a host in this kind of situation.
I need to go back and read Stand on Zanzibar. Back when I was in 8th grade, I read Brunner's The Stone that Never Came Down which I thought at the time was the best SF novel I'd ever read (it held my top spot for some considerable time). I never found a copy of Stand at the time.
We're at a StartupWeekend day 2, dissect what we've done so far
Vonnegut's summary is a good one, and I agree that the entire book could have been fully summarized in so few words - the hard question is what are those select few words capable of seeding all other possible stories? For me, the book made many good cases that there is something deeper and quite simple about all storytelling, without ever specifically defining it. I guess that is why storytelling is still such an interesting practice.
I guess you're being down voted for sounding like people with PTSD would be fine if they just tried to be more positive. That's obviously not true and hopefully not what you meant.

However it is true that perception is a huge part of PTSD, it's just no one knows how to change these perceptions or the devastating brain pathways created as a result of them.
Right now you can export or download site+database. We have git integration and deployment via FTP/SFTP on the list.
Seems significant, and they are closing their retail stores.

I have a Makerbot Replicator/Dual which was probably the last fully open source printer they made, and is available from FlashForge[1] boxes which sells a clone of it [2] for $1,000 less than I paid for mine.

The difference in quality and speed been that printer and Makerbot's latest and greatest "5th Gen" printer isn't enough to justify paying nearly $2,000 more for it, and they don't support dual extrusion any more, just when the open community is getting some seriously interesting multi-extrusion ideas going. (beyond the simple two hot ends next to each other).

From a 3D printer perspective they are under powered and over priced, which has never been a position of strength for any product to build brand.

So its sad to see them fade but not unexpected.

The gentleman to whom I was replying made a reference to shared blocklists as censorship. Having had to support a couple of friends through the showers of verbal excrement that get thrown their way by a group that call itself "Gamergate".

I am less than sympathetic to the viewpoint that someone can demand the right to be listened to as well as the right to speak. Allow me to be explicitly and excruciatingly clear on that point. You are free to say whatever you want, to print it, to publish it on the internet, to build signs on your property, etc. without fearing arrest or detention. But; you do not have the right to demand that others spend even a fraction of a second of their time on this earth paying attention to you.

And by loose morals I mean that disgusting sense of entitlement to others time and bodily affection that seems to characterize the "Gamergate community".
"He interviewed hotel employees who had been inside villa 8888 and had seen a number of computers, monitors, and chairs set up in a configuration that resembled a boiler room bookie operation."

I love how real world legal documents read like old crime novels. The imagery cast upon a villa at Caesar's by being compared to a boiler room is top notch. :)
It sounds creepy because you live in a police state where people abuse their powers.

Imagine a better society. A six year old child turns up at school unwashed and hungry. The parent, who normally collects the child every day, is not there at pickup time. The child lives 3 miles from school. A couple of weeks later the same child is taken to ER. The mother is evasive, but the injuries seem to match the story. The child is again unwashed and a bit dirty and hungry. There are very many cases where these kind of signs go unreported; and one of these signs on it's own probably doesn't reach a threshold where anyone (even if it is reported) will do anything about it. But when collated they start showing that maybe there is something where the parents need more help, or ultimately the child needs to be protected by removing it from it's family.

I live in a country where every single child attending A&E deparments for any reason is reported to their local child protection social workers. In the vast majority of cases nothing happens; no letters; no visits; no threats. But in some cases abused children are detected and protected. It's not perfect, but it's better than letting untrained people guess at what should or shouldn't get reported. Report early report often culture avoids the need for mandatory reporting, which is IMO worse.

When I talk about human rights my American friends say things like "obviously we believe in human rights. The only reason we don't ratify those UN things is a constitutional matter about our courts and our laws", but looking at what Americans in power shows that some of them have no concept of human rights.

A bunch of this stuff is pretty clear in international law (freedom from arbitrary interference; right to a family life for parents; right to a family life for children; family is findamental unit and should be allowed to parent; protect children from harm).

All I can think of is that someone is using the mouse (and keyboard) quite a bit different than I do.

I can understand that single vs double clicking can be an issue with non-technical users, but disabling double click won't really change that issue, because they usually don't understand that these are two different actions. Of course one can and should try to make things easier for them, but once it starts to affect the usability for others, it's not really worth it anymore. These people should learn to adjust their behavior.

Now that this is out of the way, I really wonder what he meant with:

> For techies like us, a double-click happens by accident.

What kind of techies is he talking about, because I'm using the PC many hours each day and I don't just accidentally double click stuff. Maybe it's the environment they're working with, but for me I'd say, I do a larger portion of single-clicks than double-clicks per day and if a signification percentage were accidental double-clicks I would have more issues that just a site that opens twice.

And last but not least I'd say a big percentage of my clicks on the web are middle clicks anyways, i.e. open link in a new tab. Something that wasn't even looked at, which again makes me wonder how the author is using the web.

What we can learn from this however is, that websites should add checks to prevent double submissions of forms. And provide proper feedback if e.g. an AJAX submission failed or if it's still sending data.

I didn't mention the word substance once so I don't know what you're on about.
This seems more like creating an entire service from start-to-finish rather than an exercise on learning a language. I appreciate the authors are likely trying to do this because the exercise touches on so many different areas, but personally I'd be put off by this, when learning it's always more enticing to go for bite-size challenges, so you can see progress easier and create milestones/goals.
Ask HN: How did you “learn to learn”?
These days, everyone seems to be telling me to "lean to learn", as thats an art without which no-one can move forward. I tried googling the thing, but the problem is, there's just no direct way to "learn to learn", so I was wondering how you guys "learnt to learn".

They shouldn't comply with this. Better to lose the entire French market than to set a precedent of allowing themselves to bullied by governments. I would imagine people would vote to get rid of this once they're unable to use Google.
I'm glad that someone is challenging what the author calls the 'medical "physical" theory of depression/anxiety', although it's unfortunate that the only way to do this is to use another progressive narrative (alienation caused by capitalism).

To me, the biggest gap in the mainstream theory is that it claims that depression is qualitatively different from sadness, and yet I have never seen any scientific article that provides evidence of this. The usual argument that is given for this distinction is that, unlike merely being sad, depression produces extreme feelings of helplessness, pessimism and inability to act. And yet what if these were actually just extreme versions of things that already go along with what we call sadness? That is, what if mild sadness and mild depression were the same thing, and severe depression was categorically different from mild sadness only because it was more extreme?
Show HN: Reddit
I'm sorry, but the switch over cost to setting Bing as your home page instead of Google, or using Firefox which defaults to Yahoo, just isn't that much. It's one thing to have a lock on the desktop market where switching over your desktop software (or 10,000 company desktops) is a significant cost.

For users with IE or Firefox they have specifically set the search engine to Google. That means users are actively seeking out Google. Maybe require all French citizens to switch search engines once a year? Make browser vendors randomize the choice of search engine?

I would imagine that people would still use Google, regardless, even if links to Bing, Duck Duck Go and Yahoo were on the page. I like Duck Duck Go, but every once and awhile I go back to Google because they do a better job.

Things I'm more worried about than Google's search hegemony:

1) The fact that new computers may soon be unable to load unsigned kernels

2) You buy a device, like a console, it is illegal for you to root it.

3) Content is locked out region by region, and VPN users are considered pirates.

4) Governments want to incorporate back doors to encryption - leaving all less secure
When I ran a start up, I did it because I had other sources of income. There were even times I took on a second job just so I could fund my own start up. If you haven't had a salary for the last 4 months maybe it's time to consider getting a job. This is no longer a start up, it's a hobby. If you still believe in it, don't quit. Otherwise sell your share to your rich partner who apparently isn't phased by this at all.
