> There are “no plans” to make the browser (or its core engine) open source but Edge proudly incorporates open-source code

I'm tired of this trend. In my opinion saying you're using some piece of open-source library for XPath does not exonerate you from releasing a browser that isn't open-source in a market that has Firefox and Chromium. I'll bet they aren't going to release Edge for Linux either.

Microsoft has been copying Apple lately but Apple is the wrong model for Microsoft to copy.

The real benefit of a login form is you can easily seperate the casual nosy surfer from someone more interested in hacking your site.
So, because Apple and (to a much lesser extent) Google lock down their platforms, I should be OK when Microsoft tries to do it too?

I don't use iOS for the same reason that I won't use any of Microsoft's newly walled-in tech and I don't use certain Google products for the same reason.

> what technology you are referring to?

I'm referring to Metro/Modern/Windows Store/Universal apps and Edge.

- On Windows if I want to distribute a Metro/Modern app, I have to go through Microsoft's store. At least Android allows non-Google app stores and side-loading with the flick of a switch.

- Metro/Modern apps are not allowed talk to desktop apps. Even Chrome extensions and apps aren't as locked down as Metro.

- It looks like they're considering applying the same restrictions to Edge. Edge apps might only be able to talk to Windows Store apps.

None of this is OK with me. I never wanted Microsoft to do anything like Apple because I honestly don't like the way they do anything.

> .NET is running pretty much everywhere now...

Xamarin isn't Microsoft and this is not relevant to my point but here is what I think about Xamarin.

Not yet. Not really. Relatively nobody is using Xamarin tools because they are too expensive compared to the free or low cost tools that are available for building straight iOS and Android apps (or even cross platform ones with Javascript).
> "market expectations are primarily built on faith in the future, which is an entirely irrational basis for economic decision-making"

Faith in some version of future events is the only rational basis for economic decision making. You pay present money in the hope of future value, because otherwise you'd simply retain the present discounted value of the purchase price.

As long as that faith isn't blind, but instead well researched and based on a defensible thesis, there's nothing wrong with it.

On a company-by-company basis, it's practical to evaluate how much of the company's market value derives from intangible components like goodwill and market position, but it's much harder to do it on the scale of an entire economy, which is what the analysis in the article claims to do.

It's more reasonable to look at capital intensive industries like manufacturing and agriculture and see if their Q values are historically high. Lumping compannies like Adobe and Apache into that same group and using the same metrics for the whole group is disingenuous.

When faced with the exact same evidence, a majority of people will react the same way.

What's more likely is that the sum of the evidence isn't actually the same.

People will generally vote based on what they know (the evidence that's been presented to them). What they know isn't much for most of the population - it's whatever TV channel they watch, whatever newspaper or website they read.

IOW, anyone who disagrees with GP is, in fact, likely to be misinformed - at least from the point of view of GP.
You can't trust the referrer header for anything security related.
It seems to odd that you cannot remove sources, to me at least. Even stranger that sources can be added more than once (leading to duplicate items). Perhaps I'm not quite getting the idea.

About custom subreddits, I've opted to only let users select from a list sources. The main reason being that I poll a number of subreddits every 10mins as it is and I want to keep my collection times down to preserve CPU time on my Droplet ($5 tier 😀). The same kind of goes for showing images of stories - I'd have to cache a ton to cloudinary and I'm on the free tier over there too.

serializer is never going to turn a profit and I guess there are somethings that come with that which limit it. That said if you think there's a subreddit that would have wider appeal let me know and I'll consider mixing it in.

Cheers for the vote on product hunt - glad you like the site.
Blog post author here. SQL Server will be embedding Revolution R Enterprise, which eliminates the slowness and memory constraints of base R for many machine learning and statistical modeling algorithms. It runs parallel (not single-threaded) algorithms in a dedicated sandbox that stream data from SQL Server (and so eliminating RAM constraints). You can see some benchmarks in this white paper http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/sites/default/files/revol... -- for example it can run stepwise linear regression on 5M rows and 100 variables in 14 seconds. (Benchmark scripts at: https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/Benchmark )
You don't need a monolithic repo to do that. Just pull in the library as a git submodule, and you control exactly which version (by git commit hash) of the library you use. And in a single commit, you can change that commit hash and change the code using the library, just as you could in a monolithic repo.
I like the anonymous aspect, and knowing what a company is willing to pay for a given position helps as a candidate, but I didn't see any advantages for the employers.

The problem for employers is getting quality candidates in for interviews. Recruiters can bring lots of candidates in, but often candidates aren't the right fit or high quality.

If you could find a way to vet quality candidates without commissions, you'd have an interesting product. This is the hard part, because usually the best people never have to really look for work. What remains?

- People out of work because they are not skilled or have outdated skills
- People who would like to switch jobs, but are doing something very specialized so there are limited opportunities
- Someone who may switch if given a tantalizing opportunity

I actually prefer the cleaner interface though, Kijiji is quite cluttered in comparison.

Well this would be a debt from the person who has defamed you to you (and potentially a debt to the state for their share of the court costs).

I'm not massively familiar with what happens when someone doesn't pay a debt. As I understand it though. A civil case is heard, bailiff's arrive at the debtors property and their possessions are re-posed until the debt is cleared. These remain civil proceedings not criminal.
As a small employer who has directly employed no more than 2 full-time employees at once, I make a habit to very clearly emphasize in the interview that I am running a small outfit that has a real and serious chance of vanishing overnight, or coming upon unexpected budgetary circumstances that necessitate the instantaneous layoff of some or all employees. Despite this clear warning, I've still had employees get upset when we've needed to part ways. I still think it's a good spiel to rehearse but I've stopped believing anyone will take it seriously.

Even if this were true -- which is debatable -- I think the much more likely scenario is that the employer has had problems in the past, and very possibly in the present (whether the fault of the employer and/or employee(s)).

Regardless, I just don't think it would be worth risking highly talented candidates (rightly) misinterpreting bringing up the topic of firing during an interview as an indicator of a toxic environment, and therefore think this is not very sound advice.

Yes, I'm not anymore a heavy user of fibers and I could answer correctly all these questions. Is pretty much vanilla js with some little knowledge about promises.

FWIW, i used a mid-2011 2.3Ghz i5 with 8 GB of RAM for about 4 years as a lightly used dev machine (read: basically ruby/rails, pg, and sublime text with some crud stripped out and running on OS X [not server]) that also hosted about 25-30 (low bandwidth) rails apps for internal use that did a lot of text processing and never really had too many complaints. flash forward 2 years of sitting idling without any activity and it's a bit sluggish now (granted that's because i've done literally nothing on the machine other than let it run)

The only trend I'm seeing is that they are open-sourcing stuff they don't care about anymore. E.g. I just tried OneDrive, which has a shitty implementation on OS X and no implementation on Linux. If OneDrive doesn't have a Linux client (or good OS X support), what chances do you think Edge has?

And forget about Linux - if extensions are going to get distributed through the Windows Store, as this article claims, you can say goodbye to OS X support as well.

Ask HN: Privacy Conscious Mobile Phone Options?
I'm reaching the end of the useful lifetime of my current phone and am looking into alternatives. I've grudgingly accepted that at present, privacy and mobile phone usage are antithetical but I'm trying to do my best to reduce my exposure. I'm interested in the factors that HN users weigh when deciding on a particular phone.

Some of mine so far are:

* Ability to install community-trusted OS (currently use and lean toward Cyanogen, open to alternatives)

* Ability to connect to Exchange for work email (currently use Touchdown to provide its own container to prevent work from having the ability to wipe the whole phone)

* Reasonable cost - would prefer to be in the realm of $200 instead of $600, although compelling devices

Any completely out of the box suggestions to accomplish same are welcome too, I'm not 100% tied to the use of a mobile phone through a telco but do want the ability to communicate with the rest of the world.

What phone/solution do you use, and what factors drove you to it?
> I, for one, don't blindly copy and paste code

Yes, but blind to what? The coder is blindly manipulating symbols[0]. What if the code produces the artifact you desire? I'm not sure anyone really blindly copies and pastes.

I think it's relatively easy to distinguish "speech" from "speech plus other action," such as protesting. Even someone who supported free speech and a person's right to protest wouldn't likely support them protesting on their front lawn because other rights besides freedom of speech exist (such as property rights).

I don't think it's controversial in Western societies that freedom of expression, especially in spoken or written form, is one of the most important rights of a free society, and as such is worthy of protection. Other actions associated with that speech may not be protected, so we need to distinguish between them.
HN loves VR as much as anywhere else. I have an Oculus DK2.
This article has a lot of ambiguity which I think adds to the confusion.

For example I was looking at that question(3) thinking, does doSomethingElse() return a function, another promise, nothing?

Part of the problem of having a very forgiving, lose language and API is that it leads to hidden, subtle complications, highlighted by "Advanced mistake #5: promises fall through". Here the then() method accepts anything as a return type, but will only chain a function that returns a promise, not a promise it's self. This isn't present in the MDN documentation (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...).

> That's why it's pointless to even try

When applied to some action that hasn't been tried yet, I'm not sure that statement has ever been true. In fact, I largely see the advancement of humanity as people trying pointless things until they stumble upon the few things that work. I can imagine there have been many times and many peoples in the past that when considering their own government, thought that human nature and the the nature of power would never allow a different governing system than the one they knew.

Things change, and it's largely due to a few doing what the majority consider "pointless", and accomplishing the "impossible".
In my experience, whenever you having trouble with callbacks/promises - it is time to refractor your code. Essentially, this JavaScript nature force you to write code with more code blocks, which is in the end very beneficial to testing.
