Almost certainly nothing. It's not clear that any attempts to manipulate were successful, or moved the fixing in any non-immaterial way. Furthermore there's no guarantee a successful move would benefit a bank: whilst it might make an individual trader's book money, the bank's net position might be the other way.
They do that here (UK) too. It's still the local govt that's paying the bill though. I guess that's why we have seemingly high municipal taxes, they're 'all inclusive.'

It's funny, the waste management people in our town are still unionised out the wazoo, and they're in deep with the labor party so they keep going on strike to put pressure on the incumbent greens. It's really not a good advertisement for the labor movement.

Although I believe that many things in this world ought not to be regulated, I have believed for a long time that domain squatting really ought to be. Some folks here have expressed that it is okay to make a profit from an investment. While this may be true in many cases, there is a serious lack of ethics in any case where the "investor" is not creating value. Back hundreds (or more) years ago, it was considered by many to be inappropriate to buy land with the intent of selling for a higher price later without that land having been actively improved by the party holding it. Holding on to something, leaving it as it is, and selling it later is not improving it. Any profit gained from its later selling is appreciation accumulated by the actions and labour of society -- not the squatter. In other words, the squatter is leeching on society, much like someone counterfeiting money. This situation applies not only to domains but also to many other things that are squatted. If he or she cares about ethics, an investor needs to ask by whom and to what extent the value is being created. After all, investing in buying slaves was surely a way to make a profit. But was it ethical?

As for how exactly domain registration could successfully be regulated for the greater good of society, that is a tricky one. Perhaps a limit on the number of unimproved domains concurrently held by one party would be an effective start. Or perhaps a track record whereby a certain minimum proportion of purchased domains must end up being used legitimately, with a certain allowance for newcomers.

I agree with others that the drug analogy was a poor fit.
Hi. I'm Dave. I really like Go, and I write and maintain a real-time and turn-based multiplayer game backend.

I liked Elixir a lot too, but when trying to pick the right tool, the learning required around Elixir/Erlang, the VM, and OTP didn't make sense when writing a production system that needs to handle 1000 req/s or more with a small staff. Go handles what we do fantastically.

Now you know someone. :)
"Tell the world you're a C+ developer!" (sic)

it tells me, after reviewing my code, and saying my non-existent tests are excellent.

I think I'll demur.

Edit: looking at the source, C+ is meant to be the grade, not the language, which makes more sense, even if this is just a fun farce.
You use 16-bit variables.
There used to be a client-side check for forbidden words or phrases in iTunes Connect while developers are entering that metadata (it may still be there I haven't checked lately), and they weren't all "swear words" or things you would expect to be automatically forbidden.

For example, I recall the system preventing me from even saving the description during an update for Mi-Fi Monitor until I removed "AT&T" from the text, and that was back during AT&T's exclusivity period for the iPhone so I connected the dots and just removed it (which luckily didn't matter all that much).

If there really is going to be a policy that apps may not mention Pebble or other similar devices in their descriptions, perhaps it'll show up in that automatic check soon (then again, imagine a blanket ban on the word "pebble", it's not just a smartwatch :)

It would appear in this case that the SeaNav app is also involved in the MFI program (presumably to communicate with the Pebble directly and in ways that normal apps couldn't? I've never dealt with MFI as a developer). It strikes me as rather odd that if both the Pebble itself and this app are part of the MFI program, that Apple would wait until a normal app update was submitted by the SeaNav developer before notifying the developer of this change.
This.

What I've really always wanted, and still never seen, is "Hierarchical Storage Management with the canonical copies of everything in the cloud, and a bounded-size MRU cache on all my local devices, but where updates to the cached files are taken as updates to the canonical version."

This way, you'd be able to have petabytes of stuff seemingly "synced" to your local disk; stuff would just be (much) slower to access the first time, or if you hadn't used it in a while. (Sort of like Apple's "fusion drives", but with the spinning disk very, very far away.)

It's almost like a FUSE-mounted WebDAV share or somesuch, but where you interact with it through its local cache on your real filesystem, rather than by your OS making its read/write requests to the server itself.
IMHO to get our rising unbounded complexity under control, Turing completeness will come to be seen as a curse to be avoided. Untyped Lisp will be seen as a lowest common denominator "failure mode" (ala Greenspun's tenth rule), not as a language to deliberately program in.

Adopting this philosophy means that it will be a language designer's responsibility to incorporate as many compatible features as possible (not as macros!) to avoid the temptation of layering a lisp.

(That is if languages continue to develop, rather than the slop-on-slop mentality fully taking over).
YouTube Community Celebrates YouTube's 10th Birthday
Excellent comment: it's definitely not zero-sum, but there is a bit of rivalry and duplication of effort. If someone's using ecto, they're using postgrex rather than epgsql, for instance. Elixir is definitely a gateway drug for Erlang, for many people. I think one of the things that José has done so well with Elixir is layer something on top of Erlang that adds to it without muddying what was underneath, if that makes sense. You can see Erlang sticking out in places, but what's on top if it fits there nicely.
That's got its own issues vs plastic: weight, costs, breakage...

I think you'll need to implement a queue of some sort. if it's locked while the message is being edited, then any amount of serious traffic will block the whole thing and turn people away.

So instead of leaving a message for the next person, put a message in the queue, and each time somebody visits grab the next message in the queue.

Yeah, line height is one of the biggest problems in web design. I have to change it on many text-heavy pages to make it readable.

It's not ideal, and should really fall upon designers to fix, but a workaround (in Chrome or Firefox) is to edit the page's source (either with Chrome webtools or Firebug) and add a line-height attribute to <p> or whatever tag or class is most applicable, and set it to something like 125% or 135%. Usually results in a much more readable page.
I think they should keep the "end"s, but they should say what they end! "end function" tells me that a function ends here. "end if" tells me that an if statement ends here. "end" is just equivalent to "}".
Where I live -- Markham, Ontario, Canada -- trash and recycling are contracted out. Outside of what we normally pay for property taxes, those costs are not visible to residents of my city.

We have no limits on what we put out for blue (recyclables) bin or green (organic) bin waste (collected weekly), and since we've switched to clear garbage bags, the only limit on non-recyclable garbage (collected bi-weekly) is that you have a limit of four non-transparent shopping bags within your bagged garbage.

We reached an 81% diversion (from landfill) rate in 2013.

>then put that paper in landfills

Shouldn't it be able to be downcycled cheaply? Like shredded paper products for things like insulation and other filler?
> paper is just a terrible idea to recycle

It's a bad idea to make paper the way we do now in the first place. Pulping and bleaching is energy intensive and involves a bunch of not-so-friendly chemicals resulting in a bunch of pollutants.

Omitting the bleaching would help, or at least finding a different way to do it.
I'm surprised there are not more people on HN who don't use Dropbox due to NSA/privacy concerns. Do you really want to worry about all your files, which are probably your most valuable ones, being out in the open to any Dropbox, NSA, or other law enforcement employee? Do you really trust Dropbox to not have a repeat of accidentally allowing your files to be publicly viewable by anyone? When there are encrypted alternatives that are as easy to use, there is seemingly no point of using Dropbox.

Interesting, I'm in STL city and never heard about that. Granted, I rent and usually trash fees are paid by my landlord.

A similar thing happened to my parents, living in a Milwaukee suburb. They have a well drilled and use well water.

The city decided that this is a health hazard and is forcing everyone to be on well water. Not only do they tear up your yard to drop the pipes, you also have to pay a contractor to hook up the water main to your house. Non-compliance results in a fine. A FINE?! For using your own well water...

I don't think it's necessary, because people already pay to dispose of garbage. The cost isn't borne by the manufacturer, but as long as it's borne by somebody involved in the transaction, it'll be accounted for.

Taxes are useful to capture externalities, where the costs imposed are on other people unrelated to the transaction. For example, taxing air pollution helps to capture the costs it imposes on the general population, which the manufacturer and their customer could otherwise ignore.
I have a feeling it's not serious.

In Germany we have supermarket mobile brands, too. They're usually just white-label services provided by other brands (e.g. ALDI Talk is owned by E-Plus, which is an actual carrier).

In fact, E-Plus itself seems to own multiple brands: BASE, Blau, ALDI Talk, Simyo, VIVA, JambaSIM and AY YILDIZ. So they're effectively just discount brands with different target audiences (e.g. AY YILDIZ offers discounted calls to Turkey and is marketed at the large Turkish-speaking minority).

I don't think E-Plus offers any mobile plans under its own brand at all, actually. Their own website links to BASE, which is their "regular" (non-discount) brand. They used to offer plans themselves in the past, though.

Confusingly there's also mobilcom-debitel (again owning several brands) which doesn't seem to be affiliated with any network operator and offers separate plans for the different networks. I think they did own some frequencies at some point and eventually sold them off, so that might at least explain why they exist at all (although I'm not sure how they can compete with the actual operators' own brands).

There are only four actual network operators in Germany: Telekom Deutschland (D1), Vodafone (D2), E-Plus (E1) and Telefónica Germany / O2 (E2). The frequencies for GSM, UMTS and LTE were auctioned off (D1/D2/E1/E2 referring to the original GSM frequencies of the D (GSM-900) and E (DCS-1800) networks).

There's actually a fifth operator on GSM: Deutsche Bahn (German railway). But they're obviously not in the phone business.
"American" is not one place.

Many, many cities have policies just as you described - pay by usage.

Many cities have free recycling.

It is going to be different for every single city/town.

My garbage is picked up by a private company unfortunately. That means my landlord only pays them to pick up garbage, not recycling. The town picks up recycling for individual households for free but my complex has private dumpsters.

I know people who can only put their garbage out in special bags and they have to pay the company or city for the bags, so they pay per bag of garbage.

Speaking of genetic engineering, I can foresee the moment when human genetic engineering turns into a profitable activity, and hence another desperately needed innovation for dealing with global warming, malnutrition, poverty, etc. that only Luddites and liberal anti-science anti-third-world-peasant elitists dare object to.

Erlang is actually quite slow; it just responds quickly and has excellent concurrency. The programming language shootout places Erlang HiPe (high performance) at 2x-22x slower than Java (http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/erlang.html) and sometimes faster and sometimes slower than Python (http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lan...).

That's why Erlang is often used as the application control plane, routing requests and the like, while actual data processing is done in C.
Nice, I'm an A class Developer!
My secret: do very little on GitHub.
I use both and one thing that really bothers me about both services is that they don't work well with proxies and laptops.

My company forces me to use a proxy so I must manually configure Dropbox and Copy with that proxy info even though I've already configured OS X to use the proxy. Why can't they obtain the system-wide OS X proxy info that all other (non command line) apps use?

When I'm not at work the proxy isn't available and neither Dropbox nor Copy will recognize that fact and bypass it. Instead they just hang, even though all other GUI apps are fine. I have to manually turn proxying off in each app in order to get syncing to work. It's not only a pain to do this but it's also easy to forget, and then you wind up with files you need that haven't been synced.

Interesting. Where I live they do contract with a company, but the money just comes from the taxes we pay, just like it would have been when the town ran its own trucks.
> The Ericsson team does plan to open up things like that.

It seems they have been planning it for a while. One of the things that looks nice about Elixir is that there is a lot of doing, as well as planning.
Where are you going with this? A "browser" is a delivery agent, sort of like the paper and binding in a book. The content of the book can be innovative but who cares if the paper is?

Perhaps you are asking "Can you deliver the experience you want to deliver in Today's browsers?" "If not, why not?" which might inform the question of missing features, but such surveys tend to collect dreams rather than requirements ("if only the browser could read aloud the page, I'd make a kids book..." kind of thing where the thing holding back the requester is not the browser but their own inability to write a kids book)
Couldn't have put it better myself! Thank you for understanding my point.
Hey, thanks for the feedback!

I respectfully disagree and stand by my design decisions.

I've seen projects like the one posted to HN somewhat recently where the guy would accept any PR on a GitHub repo.

This way, you get to leave a message for only one single person in the world. (This also takes care of people posting terrible things on my own website :-)

Yes, while there's a significant traffic, the site is basically unusable, but at the same time this was inevitable if I wanted to let people know about this project.

I recommend saving the link and coming back when the crowd clears up :-)

America doesn't recycle more because it just isn't worth it to recycle things (except for metal). (And if you notice, this article, like most of them, talks about how it's worth it to recycling aluminum, and doesn't mention anything else.)

You can tell that metal is worth recycling because you have people driving around looking for metal scrap and taking it. No one takes plastic.

Cleaning, and sorting, plastic and paper takes more energy and water than using virgin.

Especially water, America does not have extra of, to spend on washing things.

It works in Europe because they make the consumers do all the sorting and washing, so recycling companies don't notice the extra expense. In particular the water, but also the use of time.

That has its own expense - you need like 10 different bins, and the consumers have to transport the garbage to the neighborhood recycling hall. That's fine if you are in a small dense city, not so simple in the US.

If you wanted to re-capture the energy in paper and plastic burn them for energy. Ignore glass, the crust of the planet is made of glass, there is absolutely no reason to recycle it.

Indeed, I'm just saying that having done all that and having been the one to say "there is more to life than this" and leaving in search of it, the conclusion I've drawn from the endless pursuit of ambition is to come full circle and realize: The more to life you're looking for was right under your nose all along, you just didn't realize it.
I agree in theory but in practice, it's not always the full amount but you get things like BofA deducting $12bn pre-tax from their $17bn mortgage settlement[1] or JPMorgan able to deduct a large amount of their $13bn fine[2]. There is always a loophole somewhere.

Conventional wisdom -- as well as Wikipedia and pretty much all other references I found -- says that recycling paper is better for the environment, because it uses fewer resources (energy, water), among other things. I'm not ruling out that conventional wisdom et al. are incorrect, but I think I'd prefer something other than a TV show.
