Don't read too much into that... He just meant that Law/Fire/EMS are not on different sides. Saying that people are not on different sides does not imply another side even exists in the first place.

The fact is that emergency responders _do_ end up getting attacked/assaulted/etc on a surprisingly regular basis. I can't remember the last time I didn't get at least verbally assaulted by someone at least once a week. Physical confrontations are all too common, and having law enforcement there when someone takes a swing at you is a very helpful thing... While there doesn't have to be two sides, that doesn't stop some idiots from choosing to make up their own side... When that happens, I'm glad to have someone with a taser and a gun on my 'side'.
Any specifics on how they discourage this? Geniune question. There's plenty of high-ranking apps with both paid and free-ad-supported versions, e.g. Cut The Rope.
I understand what you're saying, we just come from very different perspectives. Most of my results are after significant transformation and combination, resulting in models to test against. I'm not very concerned with copyright violation, as I rarely (never?) re-publish copyrighted information.

Have there been any court cases where a person scraping public information has been found in the wrong? I know of the LinkedIn case from Jan 2014, but in that case the offenders were creating LI accounts to scrape private information. I believe that Craigslist lost it's case against e.g. padmapper, didn't they?

While I respect what you're saying in your first sentence, I view it differently. Setting aside the legal issues, I see it as someone trying to control use in a public space. I don't consider that a valid reason -- if it's public, I can consume it. Avoiding detection is a reaction to sites trying to create rules that I interpret as invalid.

If a company tried to block off a public road without legal backing, I would consider it not only my right but also my duty to traverse that road. [mediocre analogy, but it does represent my opinion fairly accurately.]
ahh, yes the old game Achtung de curve revived as a browser game nice!
Interestingly one could say the same about salesforce.com. What positive things have they contributed to Heroku, beyond hoping their developer community would start making apps for salesforce.com overnight (which they didn't).

And do many people actually use Heroku for anything serious? Once they hit a certain size it seems Heroku quickly becomes uneconomic.

Heroku had its time in the sun but rapidly that day is coming to an end...
> How can I become one of these anonymous "people with knowledge on the matter"?

Be a C-level executive at Microsoft who feeds tips to a reporter or banker? Corporate espionage is a real thing, and every major investment firm engages in it. How else can you explain things like the market's ability to perfectly predict earnings results hours before they are released?

After working at high levels of big companies in corporate America, I learned that there are no secrets at any company. Executives will speak privately and candidly to each other about their company's plans; while their companies may be competitors, it benefits both of them personally to have advance knowledge of the plans of the other company (and they may work together at some point in the future). There are a great many things that nobody will confirm publicly, but any major effort at any large US company has been tipped to financial analysts or the press long before its announcement.
I have a completely different experience with it. I routinely deal with 100s of tickets every day. Assigning, keeping track, searching and performance has been stellar over the 2 years I have been using it. Re look, sure it looks dated but at least it does not look like bootstrap which would have been worse.

"Cops generally see EMS (and, by and large, Fire/Rescue) as being 'on the same team'."

Gotta agree here. The last time I was a first responder (RTA), the Police and Ambos arrived in unison. In Aus the Ambo service often follow-up for operational reasons (security and job over-lap) ~ https://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/7949327460
A Surprise for Evolution in Giant Tree of Life
While that's not unheard of, it's not especially common. Firefighting, Rescue, EMS, and law enforcement are all specialized tasks, and some degree of cross-training makes sense (for instance, I'm a firefighter/paramedic, with some specialized rescue training), a 'one size fits all' approach where one person is trained to do everything often results in someone who does none of them well.
But they have to ask, because if the answer is no, that's a huge red flag. "You are willing to lose my money, but not your friends or family?"
> I think by "virality" what was meant was that GPL libraries "infect" non-GPL because the larger work must also be released as GPL. For programming languages, though, this should not be an issue, unless somebody is bundling the whole interpreter/compiler with their app.

For programming languages that include a prelude or standard library on which most actual programs will rely on in whole or in part, it may be problematic (and, of course, its especially problematic for languages where substantial parts of the interpreter/compiler itself is part of that standard library, as is the case of any language which implements a general purpose eval.)
It is genuinely my favorite program to use. It is performant and reliable, and I deal with 100s or accounts and tickets every day. Configuration is key.
Wow, I think that response was even worse. Blaming the student even more.

PS: Hi Josh!
That is one of the most cynical things I have read in a while. I'm not saying you're wrong, though...
If, for your first round, you end up with 10 individual investors each forking 25k, you'll end up with board management issues.

1 with 100k, 2 with 50, 4 with 12.5 : yeah, why not.

With that, you have one clear lead, with whom future investors and bank can relate to.

My bank wouldn't have bankrolled us if we had 10 "small" investors from the start.

That seems kind of non-responsive. The fact that there are technical limitations with Rust's mechanism doesn't invalidate the fact that the existing solutions work fine when implemented with a cross compiler and yours don't. It's sort of a special case of my point: maybe you did it wrong.

(Edit, for clarity: the C preprocessor and C++ template languages are well-specified interpreted languages executed at compile time. Rust's attempt here is poorly specified and coupled closely to the runtime environment of the compiler binary. And that choice has leaked into the API presented to the programmer. And that's bad.)

And regarding templates/generics: I'm not talking about type calculus stuff, but more like the kind of code you see in Boost's lambda or serialization libraries (which to be fair I think are terrible libraries personally -- IMHO this kind of code doesn't belong in libraries at all, which is my point). I don't think Rust generics (to their credit) can do that.

As a simple example imagine that the owner of a local shop REALLY didn't like you to the extent that he had his door painted with six-inch letters at eye level "PNathan KEEP OUT!" It's a publicly accessible shop, but if you walk in and he calls the police, will your having ignored that sign make a difference in their interactions with you? How about if you've both ignored that sign and come in wearing a disguise?

I am surprised that SharePoint got so little love from Microsoft since 2007. Basically all the cruft is still beneath the surface of v2013. I heard Microsoft Redmond outsourced the development to Microsoft India branch which does most of the C# development. The basic concept of SharePoint fulfills what Cairo & WinFS never delivered - so it's actually great, but it has some rough edges and no one cares to fix older features.

Salesforce would fit to Microsoft's product portfolio. They have Microsoft Dynamics CRM but Salesforce offers more features. Then the have Microsoft Dynamics ERP which consists of 5 different ERP products that Microsoft bought: Microsoft Dynamics AX (formerly Axapta), Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains Software), Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision), Microsoft Dynamics SL (formerly Solomon IV), Microsoft Dynamics C5 (formerly Concorde C5). Salesforce would theoretically be renamed to Dynamics CRM SF.
Salesforce has amazing gross profit margins as you'd expect (76%), but from day one they've intentionally spent to the max seeking market share. Probably a smart move, given the vast scale of Oracle and SAP, and Oracle's general aggressiveness in trying to corner segments through acquisition to build up a moat around their business.

About 50% of their revenue still goes to marketing expenditures. Another big dent in their earnings potential, of course, are the stock options they hand out (which is why Salesforce likes to talk about non-GAAP) - something like $500m to $600m per year now, equivalent to roughly 10% of sales.

I built the Timbuk2.com bag customizer (http://timbuk2.com/customizer) and I would say that 50% of their business is on the custom side. People are playing with the product and often they surprise us. Timbuk2 ends up charging a premium for the custom bag, but it a unique bag.

Same applies to Nikeid or adidas or converse or ... A lot of people are trying to build custom products and let the consumer get access to their manufacture, but it is not as simple as it sounds. There are, as in all things, a lot of moving pieces and enough rope to hang yourself.
My team just went through trello, asana, and JIRA over the last three months. We came to the conclusion that Asana is the best combo between trello and JIRA.

If your team is heavy tech, then go JIRA, all other, I would say asana. Personal use, trello.

I had been running my company of 5 employees for several years and never was able to get overview of projects and good and transparent feedback from the makers. This led me to create a new way to work that I am now turning into a method and an app.

The foundation of the method is
1) Leave the makers alone so they can be as much as possible in flow
2) Inform the Managers, honestly and transparent so they have total overview and sleep better.
3) Commit and be acountable to team members, manager and customers about what you will do during the week to improve internal motivation
4) Learn from mistakes, discuss how to learn from failures and how you can behave differently to prevent making the same mistakes.

Writing ability as a high school senior is largely correlated to the amount of attention you got from your English teacher.

There's no way I'd ever buy that. Writing ability is largely correlated to the amount of time the student spends reading... reading novels, instruction manuals, technical books, Web pages, and cereal boxes. Teachers have almost nothing to do with it in my experience, and I think you'll find that any successful author will tell you exactly the same thing.
I think it's still entirely possible for Node's new org to pretty much adopt iojs's technical committee nearly as-is. There's still no version conflicts. There's a minor support niggle for some internationalization bits in node 0.12's core, but beyond that, there's still a chance.

My only thought is that when io.js/node reaches a point for an LTS release, that they do a major bump for the LTS, and another for the ongoing dev... so that #.x.x is LTS. instead of ~#.#.x

You're comparing apples to oranges.

The underlying assumption for an agriculture worker in the UK, who is entitled to these protections, is that he is an employee ... not an owner.

Contrast this to your parent comment which was very likely a family owned farm at wich they were self-employed. They didn't have worker protections as there was nobody from whom to be protected.

Also, it should be noted that your parent comment was speaking of a dairy farm which are notorious for being "prison sentences" - you really can't ever take a vacation if you own your own dairy farm. It's the worst case scenario that he is skething out.

> In the United States, public schools receive the majority of their funding from the local town/county taxes. This means that a poor person who lives in a poor area will attend a bad school.

The conclusion is true, but the reason given is not true in many parts of the United States: e.g., California (and I don't think California is the only state with similar rules) requires equal per-pupil public spending statewide, so difference in local tax bases within the state do not affect spending (but schools in poor areas have unique challenges that increase costs, and often get less additional support from outside sources to supplement their equalized funding, so they still end up disadvantaged.)
Ask HN: How would you rebuild the browser today?

(Would you rebuild the browser?)

Just coming off an impromptu and hotly contested ;) debate with my brother about the current state of browsers. The premise, what if browsers were reinvented from the ground up today? What would we do differently.

> Imagine that the huge breakthrough technology that got everyone in software, business, and marketing all excited about computers and on board were Microsoft Word, and from thenceforth all software were run inside Microsoft Word's layout system, and a programmer's life was writing Word macros and getting them to work together and scale well, just to beat the fickle layout into shape. Then people decided they wanted dynamic content inside Microsoft Word, and to make them do all kinds of things... and we can call them "apps" and wow people with all the things computers can do these days (while software outside of Word has been doing these things for 15 years and in more elegantly designed and maintained ways). Good thing that never happened. Oh wait, it did, but it's called a web browser, html and css, php, javascript...

I think it's a great question. Genuinely curious about people's opinions.
> Some people live with $25k per 10 years.

Not sure what that means or how it's relevant.

Short answer is, No. Longer answer is, if you're really smart a) you realize what I said is true and b) you'd figure out a way to raise the money.

It may surprise you to know that cops often deal with truly violent, aggressive individuals and often place their lives in danger. Being assertive and controlling is a proven way to keep situations under control as much as possible when they don't know who they're dealing with. The cop-hate is really getting out of control. Inner-city blacks kill a lot more black people than cops do, yet we bend over backwards to not be judgemental of them. Yes racism is bad. But automatic hatred of cops is really driven by the same kind of thinking.

I absolutely understand what you're saying, and this is not an attempt to justify the cases you've described.

However... Attacks on EMS workers are also a real problem, and I am glad for the presence of law enforcement on the scene of my EMS calls on a very regular basis. It is also common practice for EMS to wait for police to arrive and 'secure' a scene if the nature of the call sounds like there is a chance the encounter could turn violent (or that we could be walking into an already violent encounter).

And Current Ability itself is dependent on both natural ability and past effort.
Not a framework.

expand.js is just a library that provides independent web components which can be used instead of standard HTML tags and a few modules to ease the vanilla JavaScript coding.

You could build an app using only what expand.js provides, however you can also build an app in whichever framework/OS you wish and use only a button (<mat-button> instead of <button>) from the whole thing.
In my experience, in countries with heavy firearm regulation, cops are more mellow. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but that's been my experience.

The aggressiveness in the police along with the adversarial attitude needs to change, it's been unhealthy for a while, on the other hand crime is down, but no one can agree why. Is it police aggressiveness, tougher sentencing, removal of pollutants from environment, aging population.... There are several explanations, but none are completely convincing.

I think some day we'll have to reconsider the interpretation of the second amendment, short of that, change people's perception of firearms. Households with firearms suffer more injury due to accidents than they prevent via deterrence. So, we need to change the attitude so that owning firearms are frowned upon as much as being a tax dodger is frowned upon.

It's hard to avoid feeling that being preemptively aggressive when you know there are people either crazy enough or desperate or foolish enough to use a firearm against a cop and that having your guard down can result in premature departure. But if the likelihood of guns circulating was low, you could give the public the benefit of doubt.
Having lived in a few different (western, first world) countries, US cops have been by far and away the rudest, most aggressive and entitled I have encountered. It is possible to deal with truly violent and aggressive individuals without always being violent and aggressive yourself.
It seems pretty tracker-like, with columns for instruments and rows containing notes, but what makes it different is the focus on graphical editing and automation. The node editor thing on the right for connecting effects looks pretty cool, too.
It looks like it is indeed a DAW (supports VST and LADSPA, which is a tell-tale sign), but with a lot more/better features and a pretty visible tracker heritage.
Your point stands, however, I didn't mean "board" management literally. I should have said "shareholders management". I'm not entirely familiar with US corporate law, but on roman based civil law, 10 investors with 25K of seed capital (ie non trivial amount of % votes) can get messy.
