It's just a larger scale of leaving high-school (or leaving any significant period in your life behind). Things, people, problems from back then don't bother you anymore and you remember them only a little bit better than a novel you read, being out of context. Also you dive in nonexistence everyday when in deep sleep. And the universe winding down, well, like you said, its just an idea :-)

> Just a note, you cannot see the last part ("her comment has subsequently been downvoted because people disagree"), only assume it.

When the comment is not abusive, trolling, etc, the specific reason (I don't agree with her. I don't like girls!. She used the word "who" instead of "whom". etc) doesn't matter - it's a vote based on personal opinion of the comment (or the commenter), not based on the objective value of the comment.

> Upvoting/downvoting is best interpreted as "this comment is what I want to see on HN"

So, own it then. Make it blatantly clear that you expect and encourage people to shape HN comments to their own world view, regardless of reality.

> How does downvoting comments that contribute to a kind of HN you don't want to see and upvoting those that contribute to a kind of HN you do want to see not make sense?

The "kind of HN I want to see" is the kind where differing opinions are accepted. When that opinion differs from enough people who down vote, not only do they not see the comment, neither do I.

Seriously how is this point hard to understand?
Last year I used a Kyroflux [1] USB floppy controller and an old Teac floppy drive to successfully recover data from a collection of 5.25" floppies (DOS, Apple II, and BBC Micro). The disks dated from the mid 1980s. I'd previously tried an old desktop PC with a on-board floppy controller and the DOS disks were completely unreadable, but the Kryoflux managed to extract the files. I dind't have access to an Apple II or BBC Micro, but I expect that those disks were similarly unreadable.

End result was I got to read the source for some of the first programs and electronic documents that I wrote, which to me was worth the time and effort.

So its not necessarily quite true that "its over". But increasingly expensive and time-consuming measures are likely to be required.

(If anyone wants to buy an almost new Kryoflux then my email address is in my profile. I'm in the UK.)

Just one nitpick: his family name is Lee. Loong is just a half of his given name. So calling him Loong is a bit weird.
Are you looking for scholarly references and scientific evidence, or more casual background material?

For the former, here's IPCC on the subject. http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/sres/aviation/index.php?idp=6...

There are several documentation projects about the Linux kernel, of wildly varying quality. Honestly, though, I believe you'd be better served by the Stevens books and the Tanenbaum MINIX book, if you're not already familiar with kernels or the UNIX architecture, in general. The Stevens books are, bar none, the best books about UNIX programming and TCP/IP network programming, and as far as I can tell every serious Linux developer has a working knowledge of Stevens, and many have referenced Stevens when discussing implementation details. And, of course, Linux was originally developed as kind of a response to MINIX and shares many characteristics, and was designed as a teaching operating system (there are other teaching operating systems, but none are probably closer to Linux than older MINIX versions).

Here's some Linux kernel specific stuff:

http://tldp.org/LDP/tlk/tlk.html

http://www.kroah.com/lkn/

http://www.amazon.com/Linux-System-Programming-Talking-Direc...

The first two have some age on them, but are still relatively reflective of the overall architecture of Linux, even if a lot of detail has changed. Anyway, these three are of reasonable quality. Some of the other stuff out there is pretty rough.
That comment mentions disagreement, and the context implies it means disagreement with the comment itself.

You said:

> Bob hates Ann. I would prefer it if Bob just downvotes Ann rather than making a post.

How is that not abuse: down voting because of who the person is (Bob hates Ann) rather than because of the comment itself.

When Jackie Robinson played for the Dodgers, it was because they never said "we're not interested in black ball players". They didn't draw the line and they profited greatly.

I've got a feeling that Ycomb knows better than pigeon holing themselves by laying out 'basic points' about what they're looking for.

What if they don't have a special sauce?
What if they're making every decision in only it's context?
What if they weren't 'honest' with sniply? Clearly their explanation is inconsistent with previous ycomb groups, so can you really take away that they're only looking for potentially 'huge' companies?

All I know is that if I were in control, I would absolutely not give 'guidelines' about specifics that they are or aren't looking for. They're literally looking for the outliers, and setting a size to the box is the fastest way to never get their applications.

If Ycomb comes out and says they're not interested in x or y...what if someone thinks they're building x or y, when really they're building z? Now they don't apply, when who knows?

As long as they CAN sift through all those applications...why not?

Again a counterexample. The previous Indian Prime Minister was a Ph D in economics (and a very accomplished economist at that) [1]

The current prime minister was the son of a tea-seller, and not very highly educated.[2]

I seem to remember from a foundationDB talk that they first spent two years building a simulation environment to control everything from network to persistance for testing scenarios.

It's also worth noting in the debate that armed civilians aren't doing anything against actual government oppression. Police are militarised in the US now, and are sending SWAT teams against civilians with alarming regularity. That 'armed population guarding against government oppression' hasn't done a thing. I do heartily agree with the idea that we need to make our laws in the modern context, not in the Founding Fathers context - after all, it took 80 years to rid their republic of condoned industrialised slavery, and even then that was a byproduct of other issues.

As for your example sentence, you're saying that the two halves of the sentence are entirely unrelated, when it's clear given the subject matters in the constitutional phrases that they are related. Are there any other such examples from the same lawmakers where two halves of a sentence are supposedly utterly unrelated to each other?

Frankly, SaaS bills add up. The things with all these subscription fees, is they're like paying in installments -- it numbs you to the bottom line, you end up paying anyway.

Thanks for the link to that test site - I didn't know about that.

As for K-9: Apart from doing calls I really just use my phone for mails and K-9 isn't the right choice for me, sadly. I would really love to use an open client, but while I can compromise on quite a bit (trying to migrate to a CM without any GApps is next on the list), a decent mail client is mandatory.

(Incidentally that's the reason why I can't use Fx OS so far, the situation is worse over there)

False flags, although risky, are probably the cheapest way to create an atmosphere conducive to change. Was the Parliament shooting a false flag? Who knows. The bottom line is govs seem to have repressive legislation sitting around to push whenever bad things happen. My guess is the West's governments anticipate unrest as a long-term consequence of economic globalization and they want to consolidate power in advance.

Spot prices could even go negative, depending on the rules of the market. That's certainly a feature of Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) which covers the eastern states. The price can drop to a floor of around -$1000/MWh, so at these times the large generators are paying the network for the privilege of keeping their running - which they are generally forced to do, since such a period of negative prices doesn't tend to last long... certainly not long enough to justify shutting a coal-fired turbine down and then the expense of spinning it back up again.

That requirement (appropriately called "anti-islanding") is to avoid islanding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islanding

An alternative is to automatically disconnect your home from the grid in that situation, rather than disabling the PV. This is referred to as intentional islanding. (Although I suppose that could be disallowed in some jurisdictions, for no good reason that I can think of. At the very least though, you should be able to manually disconnect once the anti-islanding has kicked in, and then fire the PV and/or battery-powered inverter back up.) Depending on your equipment you may still have to shut down before reconnecting to the grid, once grid power is back up. (Depends on whether your inverter is capable of re-synchronizing with the grid, and again I suppose based on regulations in your jurisdiction.)

You're right, and I should have been more careful with my wording.

Bob hates everything that Ann says. Ann makes a post. Ideally Bob would read it charitably and reply carefully. What sometimes happens is that Bob reads it critically and replies harshly. I would prefer Bob to do the former, or just ignore the post, or just downvote it and move on, (in this order) to grumpily answering Ann.

Yes, a downvote in this example is abusive, but a simple solution exists - upvote often.

(Btw: please do remember that I'm just one person and that very many people on HN agree with you that downvote should only be used for low quality posts that don't reach the threshold for flagging. You definitely are the target audience.)
I'm really interested in how much this will cost.

In South Africa we're having rolling blackouts called "load shedding" because we don't have enough power. Exactly why is a long and obviously controversial story, but in short: Mega projects that were supposed to fill in the gaps are being delayed, maintenance on existing infrastructure was delayed in the hope that the new projects would come online in time, but that's now causing cascading failures and maintenance cannot be avoided any longer, causing even more outages..

The blackouts are zoned and 2.5 hours at a time. Here's Cape Town's map, for example: http://ewn.co.za/assets/loadshedding/capetown.html

So we don't have grid power 24/7 anymore and our electricity prices (that used to be some of the cheapest in the world) are now skyrocketing. So I would imagine that many many people here might be in the market for something like this at the right price.

Unfortunately, MoneyDance does not provide for split transactions. I use that quite a lot in GNUcash. My monthly salary is split up in 7 different components (income, taxes, insurance, reimbursement for work-expenses, bonuses, pensions and payment on checking-account).

It would really make the accounting messier, would I have to split this in separate transactions.

I would be willing to pay (or help develop) a good, versatile accounting program for personal finances and small businesses.

Consensus is the main hurdle - if you have multiple nodes that can be read from, then any values that are successfully written to the system must guarantee that those same values can be read sequentially.

Issues arise when network partitions interrupt communication between nodes; even if you require all nodes to send acks when writing, how do you deal with those acks not being received?

Why not? I'm assuming you're implying that Marie Curie's research shortened her life. Marie Curie lived until age 66 in 1934. Life expectancy according to this (http://ourworldindata.org/data/population-growth-vital-stati...)
random google search for 1935 in France was 58.09. This means that Marie Curie's life was 113% longer then usual for her time. The current life expectancy in the USA is 78.74 according to the top google result, so if it helps you can think of her as living to about 89 in our terms. In other words despite her research she had a long fruitful life. I wish I had the chance to make as great an impact on the world as she did.

Perhaps they do well, because the radiation kills off the weak ones relatively quickly (compared to other habitats), and thus the remaining population is actually stronger over time. For humans, that doesn't happen because we try to cure those afflicted which would've otherwise have been "naturally selected out", and so weakens the gene pool over time.

Well, I know that this may sound unpopular, but Singapore is one of key examples why technocracy may be better than democracy.

In democracy, it's popularity contest. It may be influenced by politicians' technical skills; though, much more often it's influenced by their ideologies.
(If you think that popularity is the same as merit, then look at which current songs are the most popular.)

And a large group of people have tendency to be biased towards short-term goals rather than long-term progress.
