Putin took Crimea.

That's enough for me to put the blame squarely on Russia for the current situation. Whether the people who initiated the coup against Yanukovych represent the entire population, a majority or a minority, it's an internal Ukrainian affair and Russia has no business interfering.

Add the take down of the Dutch plane, the nonsense about tanks taking "relief supplies" over the border, soldiers getting "lost on vacation" and it's pretty clear that Putin is engaging in an illegal war.

And, yes, I am from the US. I don't agree with our illegal wars either so please don't go there.
Twilio Launches IP Messaging, New Conference Calls and High-Volume SMS Tools
It was basically just a call center with sys admins that would remote into servers and give them a kick when needed. Oh an a handful of developers. It was clear as day they weren't going to stick around, since the more interesting positions were being held in other IBM offices. It's a bit of a shame really, there's plenty of smart/technical kids from Dubuque, they just go to Des Moines and Cedar rapids to work at places like John Deere and Rockwell Collins -- because even with IBM, there was no reason to stay.
My best guess...20m is a small amount to invest in your tools. It's a development budget so other companies can utilize the tool for greater leverage. (What they believe to be faster development time with quick iterations and quick MVPs)
In regards to hardware startups, I would think Europe should have the leading edge in comparison to America due to their proximity to China- in America, if I want to start sourcing parts from china, or go into production, It's a significant endeavor. If I'm just a hobbyist screwing around at a workbench, I can pay a huge markup on parts from American vendors, or I can wait 3 weeks to get the same thing from China.

I can't speak from experience in regards to hardware startups, I've just made a handful of one-off boards, but after reading Bunnie's blog in regards to his trips to China and such, the importance of location near it becomes apparent.
Hi, Issue 3 of my new curated email newsletter - welcome your thoughts...
Another piece of negative propaganda made it to the front page of hacker news. Let's all clap our hands. It seems to me that the warmongers in Washington pay good money so that cheap authors like her may get a chance to become government mouthpieces. Well done!

Noone critisizes the US of course, that's because all americans believe that are an exceptionally great people etc etc. That's what Obama told them anyway.

To put things correctly: Ukraine is under the Nazi once again and American Nulad helped create a coup that killed so many people and brought in power a Nazi affiliated party.

United states has been supporting dictactors and causing more distruction and blood shedding for many many years (and there is more to come). The dictator in charge in Ukrane has exterminated 6000 russian speaking people and has put (or was told to) an american in the Ministry of Agriculture! (they gave her Ukrainian citizenship in no time so that she would not have any trouble opening the door to Masanto).

In a nutshel, the world would be a better place if United states stopped intervening in other countries affairs and kept to themselves. But then again, most Americans would rather watch tv than critisize their governement and its role in other people's suffering. They would rather not think about the slaughter that took place months in Odesa, Ukraine where pregnate women were burned alive by the nazi Ukranian governement.
They like to have everything spoon fed to them so prapaganda like this is easily swallowed.

As far as Europe is concerned, it has become a group of vassal pointless lifeless countries that can not support the basic human
principles of democracy and human rights. They are too a disgrace
to the world.
It's not oppression, you're right. It's way, way smaller than that. My little act of 'defiance' is way smaller than it would be if it were exactly oppression, too.

I'm pirating content. I'm watching something that I want to watch, and at the same time, I'm hoping that my small increment of the 'pirated_copies_of_got' metric causes someone at HBO to go and sort out the way they distribute content outside of the US.

Literally no one else is harmed - because, no, I'm not going to pay the prices they've set. It's just nowhere near worth it. I'll go read a book instead.

Btw, hacking someone else's account is considerably more 'wrong', in my opinion: you're breaching someone's personal info and preventing them from using their account.

I hope the FTC wins its case and establishes precedent that consumer data is non transferable and most importantly not a good to be bought and sold unregulated. I understand there are circumstances when data has to shared, transferred etc. (health networks, but this regulated) But consumer data needs to be well regulated and not treated as a commodity and "asset", that's not a desirable incentive.

Consumer data should be one of those things which most companies consider something toxic but necessary so they handle it with care and use the least amount possible rather than collect as much as possible and worry about things later.

RadioShack may not have the reams of data an ISP has, but still need a precedent for future data handling and ownership resolution. It'd be great to see this kind of data devolve back to the consumer, i.e. destroyed, once its original user is no longer there to use it in support of ongoing business operations and should not be a mainline of business per se.
Yes, Kore don't use libsrt, although you could use it in your Kore user-modules (not all services are going to be trivial operations). And I agree, C strings is far from being a solved problem. In the case of libsrt strings, in addition to have embedded length (fast concatenation, search, etc.), it does support UTF-8 operations, include case conversion, without requiring OS support (i.e. without "locale", nor using custom hash tables, but in-code efficient hardwired character range selection), and most typical string operations.

P.S. Before implementing libsrt strings I did a wide study of many string and generic C libraries, implementing the best from all, and adding things that were not still covered (I'll investigate the Kore string/buffer implementation, too):

Sounds like the service should have been backup-only, not a pseudo Dropbox-like service. The problem here is the expectation and the reality.

For example, I use Backblaze for backup, and backup-only. With that service, I almost expect it to "take its time" while it loads my files in the web interface. It's backup!

But with Dropbox, I want to see my file listing instantly and go through a carousel instantly. But dropbox is not a "photo-only" service and so I give it leeway as well. And the fact that I can specifically choose what folders to sync and what folders not is perfect for my resource-strapped laptop.

However, with this service, the expectation comes with computer-like responsiveness and speed. If I had 200gb of photos on my computer, I'd expect it accessible instantly. And sharing to work similarly to either network sharing (mark folders as shared and specify access restrictions) or dropbox (users co-own folders with a main owner). It seems strange that you can't share a read-only access to your friends/family. Or to share read/write access.

I think that if this service was a startup, people wouldn't give it so much shit about the issues. It's startup, these things will get ironed out. But when Apple comes out, they boast about their services so much that you expect them perfect on the first try. This is not a "beta" or "alpha", it's a full product from a huge company. And it's fundamentally broken.

Especially if you can use the web interface to upload "jpeg-only". Wtf is that about?
I think you've overshot with the Facebook photos. They are, in fact, not their photos and remain the property of the uploader.

Scaling requires specific know-how, lots of capital, and chutzpah. You seem to know more about Israeli startups than I, and I don't doubt that they're learning the first as you say, or that they already have the third.

As for capital for scaling European startups, it is definitely lacking. There's barely capital for seed and early rounds. Maybe in 50 years, after dozens of successful exits will make more people into angels and VCs.

To expand a bit: Sometimes, instead of thinking about nouns all the time, you want to think about verbs. Instead of saying "mutate this noun by applying verb1" and then "mutate this noun by applying verb2" etc, you are creating a new verb. The new verb is "verb1 then verb2 then...." And then when you have the verb defined, you apply it to your object.

1. Don't found a startup on a Mastercard. If you're bootstrapping, pay for it out of consulting income. Stop believing the HN party line that failure doesn't have consequences. It can and, for many, it does.

2. Feel free to ignore #1, it's your life, but don't hire employees if your "funding" is a personal credit card. Really, don't. You're all kinds of not ready to be responsible for other peoples' income.

3. If you really can't afford a 6-month severance, then pull connections and give an amazing reference so he'll take that as his severance. Let him represent himself as employed, pay him during the gap, and have him line up a better job than the one he has already. Don't have the connections to place someone out on terms that he'll accept? Then how the fuck are you ever going to get funding or a first client? Take the message and hang up the phone.
It's not illegal to be gay in Russia. Although their gay law is backwards. It's a far cry from what you see in the Middle East. It looks more like what you see in Middle USA. Conservative, yes, oppressive and dangerous, not necessarily. Im for LGBT rights, but this topic is overblown.

Be careful with that assertion. jQuery's `.then` method has returned new Promises since 1.8.

In jQuery 3.0, their Promises will be fully Promises/A+ compliant as long as you're using `.then` ( `.done` and `.fail` are remaining non-compliant to remain non-breaking with sync XHR I believe )
> ...and then conclude that what you are looking at is tight-knit enough to be called a culture.

There is no such qulaificiation on what constitutes a culture. You're making the common mistake of thinking that "culture" reffers to some sort of exclusive club, as though you're either in one or another.

Of course there is a European culture, as well as German, French, Britsh, and other national cultures, as well as local city, town, neighborhood, and even unique internal family cultures. It all overlaps for each of us in our own way.

There is almost certainly a human culture as well, we just lack sufficient comparisons to define it properly at the moment.
Radio Shack still existed in some form at the time of the sale. The assets which were sold were transferred from Radio Shack to the buyer. If Radio Shack had a binding contract that disallowed such a sale then the sale shouldn't be allowed.

This is just the bullshit self-loathing of Americanophiles.

"failing is looked down upon". In which f-ing corner of the country? How the hell do you think our tiny country has become so completely disproportionately successful? Because we don't take risks? Because we were to afraid to just set sail and see what happens? Bullshit.

We're the champions of fucking failing. We're the only big soccer nation never to win the World Cup, yet we celebrate our heroes for trying and failing.

Failing is not a bad or shameful thing in Dutch culture. This is just a meme that's being repeated inside a small bubble of people that worship American startup culture and use it as an excuse.

(Edit: the only slightly valid excuse is that bankruptcy in NL can be a bit of a pain in the ass.)
At least for me, there are 2 main problems: taxes and language.

Taxes: here in Germany you pay 19% VAT on all transactions. Then, income tax, which quickly reaches 42%, then solidarity tax, basically almost half of your earnings evaporate

Language: it's tough to address a decently large market, the biggest market (German speaking) is about 100M people, that's 4 times less than the USA market

You can easily see that those 2 points quickly add up and create "corollary" problems. With those taxes + social security, to give a strong employee a strong salary you go towards a cost of +150k. To pay that much to employees you would need a big market to address to get revenues, but the market is small-ish, or you might look for VC money, but people with money are too scattered across too many languages and countries.

The shift towards AMD GPUs actually makes me very, very wary of getting any new Mac hardware for a while. Every time I've tried an AMD/Radeon GPU in a PC, it's done nothing but crash over and over and over again (even after several returns).

I don't ever want an AMD/Radeon GPU in any system I own ever again. Intel and NVidia GPUs just work.

I wish there was an option for matte screen iMac...
In graphics, everything is done at subpixel resolution. We also have to handle text and the aliasing that occurs not just from screen resolution downsampling but projective aliasing as well for text that is not camera facing or text that is wrapped on a surface. Keeping track of text on a screen is, to put it simply, not hard. There's a lot more state to a level's geometry and textures than just position. Momentum, for one thing, but tint, wind, pathing, any other behaviors, key frames, etc. Some of the meshes get skinned or dynamically deformed if its cloth or hair. Some meshes get generated on the fly. Still others move according to a script or analytic equation like particle quads. Not to mention audio that may be keyed per item and the physics tick.

The loading is sometimes more than just pulling stuff from RAM. Decompression, shader compilation, and more. Maybe textures are created dynamically or the level is randomly generated (terrain, creatures, and all). Usually, loading is full threaded and all reading happens asynchronously. Depending on whether you're on a console or not, different optimizations happen since the disk drives have different buffered reading characteristics.

I've read plenty of stuff on web browser tech and architecture, particularly because I've been following the Servo project with some interest. I'm not saying it isn't a lot of work (it's a lot of work, like anything worth doing), but I do think it's easier than you're making it out to be.

I mentioned earlier - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9570639 - but the biggest thing is not isolation, it's portability. You do not care what you're running on, just that you have a certain amount of disk, CPU and network available to you, and the rest you handle yourself. That gives your organization a crazy amount of flexibility in moving that ball of stuff around.
That sucks yours didn't work out, but I just want to contrast the others here to say that my Automatic worked (and works) great in both my 2000 Honda Accord and my VW Jetta.

I've had a few minor connection issues, but over all it's been very solid when connected to my iPhones.

It definitely helped me adjust my driving habits.
Very much agreed. I am also a paying member of their 200GB plan so I can store my 25GB of Photos. They magically consume 25GB on my SSD but blow up to 60GB in the new Photos app. Why - I don't know.
Sync between my iPhone, iPad and Mac basically doesn't work. Several new pictures show up as double or triple files, which I then have to manually delete. Also deletion does not sync. Deleting on one device does not delete on other devices (as is intended). A least for me.
Will cancel and go back to Onedrive sync. Sad.
Recent amd drivers have been really good on both Linux and Windows - give them a try sometime.
It's also worth noting that despite the article's assurances that these are mere misconceptions, there really was a Western power struggle surrounding the Ukrainian uprising before the Crimean affair.

As much fun it is to bring up the infamous "Fuck the EU" phone leak, there were serious efforts to pave the road for a Ukranian entry into the EU and/or NATO -- a knowing violation the silent agreement to have a post-Soviet buffer zone between the West and Russia.
Russia never invaded Ukraine! Period. Get your facts straight.
That's ironic given that your people (the Dutch) were the original European venture capitalists! In the 16th and 17th centuries, they put together and financed again and again (thus repeatable and scalable) overseas trading voyages.

Not really. WebRTC is explicitly designed to allow arbitrary data to be sent peer-to-peer, with things like encryption, NAT busting, etc. built in; layering file transfer on top of it isn't a hack. It's not compatible with existing protocols, unfortunately, but raw UDP (and TCP) sockets are unlikely to be allowed on the web anytime soon due to security concerns; there are various efforts by browsers to provide APIs for this for use cases like the Chrome Web Store and Firefox's Open Web Apps, where security can be relaxed (e.g. [1] [2]) - and there are in fact torrent addons for both browsers - but on the actual web, you need an additional layer. In lieu of the web being able to speak BitTorrent, it would be nice if native BitTorrent clients started to speak web - that is, support bridging over WebRTC themselves. That is, in fact, what the author of instant.io is attempting, according to [3], with "WebTorrent.app".

Thinking you know everything is a definitive sign that you do not!
One of the first lessons you learn from experience is that what you thought would happen, doesn't.

In other terms, you have cognitive biases, emotional biases, and filters your brain uses as information you process goes from perception to short term memory to long term memory...and lots of things get lost in the process.

If someone isn't smart enough to realize his perception of what he knows is colored and influeneced by things outside his control...he probably hasnt had even close to enough experience to be humbled.

Don't be that guy!
