One thing that might have impacted hitchhiking in Europe is cheap flights. If you can get somewhere in a few hours for less than 100 euro, or hitchhike there in a few days, you must really like hitchhiking or be really poor.

Before the cheap flights, I went hitchhiking not just for fun, but because it was so much cheaper too.

I am having an epiphany. AOL, an internet provider and ad company, buys Time Warner. AOL gets spun off into an independent company. AOL reinvents itself as a media and ad company. Verizon, an internet and TV provider, buys AOL.

This is happening after Verizon reinvented itself from a phone company. Merger 2.0 is making more sense than it was the first time, but still, nonsense enough.
Why do you think religion is intrinsic to human culture?

Personally, I view it as a bad product sold to humanity (in the times in which most people were poor and uneducated) for the benefits of few snake oil peddlers that got incredibly rich and powerful in the process.
> At my previous jobs in the US I wouldn't even think about reducing my hours... a 32 vs 40 hour contract is pointless if you're expected to work 50-60 hours a week, better to take as much money as you can.

The difference between less-than-full-time and full-time employment is the issue here. If you're a "full time" employee, depending on your local cultural values, you stay until the job is done, within reason. If you're on less than full time, in, I would wager, the vast majority of cases, the position is very closely regulated time-wise, ensuring the employee works their hours and very little more, if any.

Why would market share numbers be interesting when the switching costs are so low? You live by the commodity market, you die by the commodity market.
I don't think the concept is so ridiculous: it's easier to press a single button that is placed in the area where you'd normally notice the product you're looking for is running out compared to getting out an mobile app or visiting a website. Ease of use is likely to lead to more sales.

Maybe the idea won't work but it sounds worth experimenting with to me.

Actually, we did care about this content. I'm not at liberty to explain the details, but we did execute setTimeouts up to some time limit.

If they're smart, they actually make the exact timeout a function of a HMAC of the loaded source, to make it very difficult to experiment around, find the exact limits, and fool the indexing system. Back in 2010, it was still a fixed time limit.

> Any religion that fundamentally doesn't tolerate the existence of other religions and calls its followers to slaughter those who don't convert is "bad religion". Islam is a "bad religion".

You don't seem to know much about Islam. Let me leave this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizya

You can argue that it is discrimination, but if you consider the status of Islam and Judaism during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in Europe, you would think Christianity is a "bad religion". It is certainly true that in several areas, Islam has been hijacked by violent fundamentalists, but it does not make Islam, by nature, incompatible with other faiths.
A large portion of the appeal of something like ElementaryOS is going to be that I do not need to download source code, build binaries, try to follow some poorly-written installation README file, etc. I would certainly be willing to pay $10 or more for the convenience of not having to do that. Focus on your paying customers, and just accept that some people will not pay. So what? If your code ends up on github it isn't costing you anything, and you're not going to lose many paying customers because the people going to github were never going to pay you in the first place.

It doesn't look like the ESP8266 has the necessary I/O to do the audio provisioning trick that the Dash is doing with that hybrid module.

Provisioning these things can be a hassle sometimes. The TI CC3xxx has a really wacky one. A custom provisioning app transmits the SSID and password of the target network by sending encrypted packets to nobody: the CC3xxx sniffs the length of the encypted packets and picks up the necessary information from the string of those length bytes.

The audio thing is a lot more elegant, but needs some filtering and processing to make it happen.
That is more than 4K distressed babies.
there are two issues: one cofounder was being "man-handled" by an investor, and their product received little support, allegedly because the author and cofounder was not attractive, white, male, etc.

i think everyone here agrees being "handsy" with anyone in a professional setting is not the right thing to do. it's certainly not punishable by death, but it's socially uncouth. that being said, the author acknowledged that it's common for sales pitches to be misinterpreted as sexual interest, and seeing how women generally like aggressive men, it's not hard to see how an investor would interpret such a situation as a cue to get "handsy" with the cofounder. again, not excusable in a professional setting, but you can't lambaste a man for his own biology.

which brings me to the second issue. if men are biologically predisposed to choose male leaders over female leaders and we want women to have an equal opportunity to be funded -- provided their product is actually as good as a man's -- then women will gain better traction by offering incentives for men to prefer the female leaders over the male leaders, rather than trying to change biology so men "work correctly".
This is not about dial-up or media. This is about ad tech. Aol is done a very nice job of acquiring sold assets in this space. I think this is a smart move.
Its a trade off. For the last few decades (at least) government policy/lawmaking has been leaning towards more invasive surveillance of the general public. This certainly makes police work easier, as they already have monitoring systems in place that allow them to collect information much more easily. They may already have a file on a suspect.

The down side is that public opinion and policy making are constantly changing. A person who is constantly monitored needs to worry that any activity they take part in today, regardless of how legal/acceptable, may become unacceptable tomorrow. Take, for example, boycotting by Canadian citizens of goods made in Israeli settlements. A year ago one may have disagreed with the sentiment, but it certainly wouldn't have seemed illegal. Today the Canadian government is threatening to bring these citizens up on hate crime charges. (As an aside I am not deeply familiar with this particular issue and am using it only as and example and as described at face value. Its entirely possible that some people have committed hate crimes.)

The Canadian government certainly already has files on some, if not all, of the biggest actors in this movement.

In a truly democratic society we need to tolerate and even bolster the voice of dissent. We claim to value our (nearly) unlimited freedom of speech. But a person who needs to worry that all of their words are recorded and can be used out of context later to condemn them will be less likely to voice their dissent. That loss of freedom is the cost of making police job's as easy as possible.
That's unnecessarily harsh. On one hand HN has articles of people jumping off the 9-to-5 rut to pursue something they are passionate about full-time while on the other we have people accusing Daniel of the same choice.

Are the brands you are referring to, by any chance Xiaomi and Huawei?

Here in India at least, these Chinese brands along with Lenovo have pretty much become household names in respect to mobile phones.

And they do make good, solid, innovative products at half the cost of their Korean counterparts. From an Indian perspective, It is no surprise that Samsung is bleeding to these (at least in the low and mid segments).

What is truly amazing to me is the pace with which the reputation of these mobile companies were built. It took years and even decades for the Koreans (Samsung and LG in electronics, and Hyundai in cars) to be taken in the same respect as the Japanese. The trust and reputation of the chinese brands (in the mobile space at least) were built almost overnight (and sooner in cases like OnePlus). There is certainly a Tom Sawyer effect in play with use of marketing tactics such as invite-only and flash sales.
How is this different from iNames, OpenID, CardSpace, and all the decentralized identity platforms that came before it? Federated identity isn't anything new, and throwing a blockchain behind it is just an implementation detail.

The concept of a single, verified digital identity is going to be an even harder sell now than it was ten years ago, with people concerned about governments spying on their online activity. People are trying to be more anonymous, not less.

I'm going to sign up for an account anyway because I'm a sucker for new digital identity solutions. And I might teach myself Python to contribute some code. But I don't see what's going to drive Passcard adoption. Microsoft couldn't even sell the concept of identity cards in their heyday.
Yep, as he mentioned you need some familiarity with scikit learn or similar APIs, take a look at [1] for example. In essence X_train and Y_train are 2d arrays with shape (n_samples, n_features), Y_train is usually of shape (n_samples, 1) the same as the output. Normally both list of lists or numpy arrays are accepted, even a generator of samples as long as it is a 2D like structure. I would say that if this is not obvious to you maybe you should start with something more basic like linear models in scikit-learn before jumping to deep learning.

Parent comment was making a joke: Oliver North was one of the people involved in the Iran-Contra affair illegally shipping arms to Iran in the 80s while also supporting terrorism in Nicaragua.
No the commenter you're asking, but I've never had a constructive conversation with "those types" - the kind who go out of their way to talk about getting laid off from a tech company.

Of all the ones I've spoken with, it followed the pattern of "BigCo outsourced jobs to those darn Foreigners, and I got laid off, and it will happen to you too!". In particular I worked with a former DBA for IBM at a grocery store in highschool, so I used to hear these tirades. What I never heard was any constructive career advice, or any details other than the outsourcing and cheap foreigners. Now the cynic in me says if low wage, and probably lower skilled workers can take your job, you probably suck. Regardless, it has always struck me a bit like talking to that xenophobic uncle at Thanksgiving type scenario. Nothing good to come.
It's also about the sense of seeming control, even if the result is a perfect weekly subscription.

>This attitude is why we don't see Linux startups

What are you talking about? A startup that sells Linux distros? There are A LOT more reasons we don't see people selling Linux distros than just this.

So what does this have to do with anything?

If your argument is that people don't use Linux in the start up world that's wrong too. Plenty of start ups use Linux and I'd say it's about 50/50 when it comes to share between OS X and Linux. We already know from stack overflow surveys that OS X and Linux are neck-and-neck when it comes to developer use, and we already know that Linux is almost always the choice when it comes to servers for start-ups.

Is your argument that people don't want to buy Linux software? There are plenty of people paying for Linux software (especially enterprise) and you can just look at the humble bundle for evidence that Linux users are more than willing to pay for software. I don't know many Mac only start-ups that are very successful.

Dutch person here. The only friends I have that work full-time have partners that are at home for the kids. I don't know any couple that both work full-time. Couples that both have a career they want to keep go for 32 hours each and the kids go to daycare for 3 days. I hardly know anyone working full-time among friends my age (lower 30's), even without kids, they just like 3 day weekends.

When I applied at ASML they asked me: What if it looks like you will not be able to finish your work within the assigned time, what do you do?

I said: I would just work some more, if it doesn't happen very often, not a problem.

WRONG. Go to your project leader tell him: "I have time for either this or this, where should I put priority." We do not want overworked people.

ASML gave employees about 2 months salary as a bonus some time back, this is on top of a customary 13th month in December.

Five hundred years ago, Christianity was as bad (see reformation, st bartholomew's day massacre). Things are much better now. Has "Christianity" changed that much ? The core of the faith is still the same. In my opinion, what has changed is rather all the "other factors" : i.e. when you are literate, well-fed, do not feel oppressed or unjustly treated you are less likely to hack your neighbor to death.

Does that make Christianity a good or bad religion ? Or Christianity now is good while it was bad before ?

I understand what you are saying, but I think I am interpreting events differently.

One last point, if you have a look on the last few hundreds years in Europe, you will find, and I probably miss a few religious wars :
- catholics vs Cathars and various heretical movement
- catholics vs protestants
- christians vs jews

And as the ideology changed:
- monarchists vs republicans
- marxists vs fascists
etc ad nauseam.

I do think the "Us vs Them" mentality is a constant of the human experience, and with or without religion of any sort, we will find new ways to be divided (see hooligans, is there something more stupid that dying for your team ?). And I believe that the debate around Islam is just another epiphenomena that will be replaced by something else in 50 or 100 years.

well obviously not. Don't let the article's title get you too riled up. This tool won't be replacing anesthesiologists completely. But this will help with this part of the job. Machines are useful tools and should be though of as such. An anesthesiologists shouldn't worry about this machine anymore than an airplane pilot worries about the autopilot.
The U.S. was not founded on Judeo-Christian values. The moral code of "do not kill" and "do not steal" etc. existed long before Judaism. "Judeo-Christian" - a term coined in the 1950s - is an attempt to claim human decency and respect as a recent religious invention, and is ridiculous.

Speaking of, there's an effort to replace "Judeo-Christian" with "Abrahamic" so as to include Islam in that group - would you agree?

As for "atheist" being a religion, no it's not.[0] Reason.com is a libertarian/conservative-leaning publication that has a bias in this game. Their labeling atheism a religion is an attempt to take teeth out of the argument of religion as a social negative. Try using the actual definition instead.

That said, I'm more agnostic than atheist. I believe we can't know if there is a supreme being or beings until they reveal themselves. Since there are 270 or so "large" religious groups and any number of smaller offshoots of those, each with adherents that would tell me theirs is the one true religion, and condemn me as a non-believer with anything from pity to death, I'm going to stay agnostic for right now.

I sure hope there is a god, though. I'd hate to think that humans are the best the universe can do.

Author here. Amusingly, I wanted to link to the HN discussion on the page, but couldn't figure out how to... I don't think it's possible! Something I hadn't considered until just now with a content addressable web is there are no cycles in the links.

Edit: Another amusing anecdote. I've been following this on log2viz (the heroku realtime performance monitoring tool), and was aghast to see high response times and memory usage.

Sure, but just a few decades ago there were people dismissing all of e-commerce saying "why would I order online when I can just pick up the phone and call in my order?" I'm sure before that there were people saying, Why do I need phone ordering when I can just mail an order form to Sears? I think it's a mistake to bet against a more convenient form of consumerism.
Inheritance is quite heavy and static. FP idioms are full of tiny combinators to assemble pieces of logic to suit your needs, flip/reorder parameters, "cache" them through partial application. The historical reusable code that OOP claimed through the 90s seems much more real using FP. OOP is too verbose and too name-friendly, people create lots of classes not abstract enough to be used anywhere else, closer to concrete types than abstractions.
There are most probably no native speakers of Latin. Maybe you meant Spanish?
