I didn't feel sad, but reading that paper I feel something which knows no name. It is between respect, appreciation for beauty, and the need to do some maths. It isn't griefful, but it is truthful, and surely M.Nash would have liked it truthful.

Yeah, I'm not buying that. If your goal is to have a cache of humanity that survives x-risk scenarios, a dependent Mars colony is by definition not MVP because it is not V. For the enormous cost of building a human habitat in a distant gravity well, you've succeeded in protecting exactly 0 people against 0% of x-risk scenarios.

That sounds like exactly the sort of overinvestment in unproductive technology that MVP theory is designed to prevent.
That's definitely a false "fall from grace" narrative. Hacker News was previously Startup News. There might be a few more SEO-types here than before, but the business and technology mix has always been pretty equal. (Unsurprisingly, it's about the same mix you'd expect from the cofounders of YC startups!)
There is a Linux tool called "safecopy" that can often recover data from failing hard drives. If you can boot a live Linux CD you should be able to download safecopy and run it against your hard drive. Be VERY careful about the command line options, if you get the source and destination parameters backwards you'll destroy any hope of getting data back from your HD.

I think I've got an older Mac mini here in the shop that we use occasionally for jobs that require Mac-specific things. If you can get a working internet connection and want to try, I'll get it hooked up and see if I can give you remote access to it. If you want to do that, send me an email (link is in my username profile).
I think you need to learn what literally means.

It isn't an iPhone on your wrist and when you actually use it has its own identity, behaviour patterns and user interface paradigms (tap, digital crown). Your argument is no different to the "iPad is just a bigger iPhone" which has been shown to be baseless by anyone who has ever owned one.

As for it being ugly I respectively disagree and given the popularity amongst fashion circles and in general I am guessing most others do too.
Melody is not copyrighted. The words are. The melody is much older. From article:

>The melody for Happy Birthday was first penned by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred J. Hill and Patty Smith Hill. The song was called Good Morning to All, but bore the recognizable melody. The tune was first published in 1893 in the book Song Stories for the Kindergarten. The melody has since passed into the public domain, and is safe to hum in public without permission.
Probably not worth it now, but you know how to disable secure boot etc right?
You can do faster than that as well if you use C++ - I can render pages dynamically in 0.1 ms or so.
probably not snake oil; and 180x faster on tpch-1 is no where near physics speed. but these guys are just starting out. i'm sure they will go even faster once they pull out the stops.

the nice thing about their model is that it's a pure accelerator play. plug it in and go faster, pull it out, or replace it with something else. in theory, there should be no change to the application/query layer. It should be as simple as entering "create/drop extension vitessedata;"
I also think that oftentimes I filter the positive stories coming out of China with an 'oh, but they still have that or other thing still going on there, so this feat is less impressive', but that's just creating grounds for a huge underestimation in the long run.
Ok, if Rust adds higher-kinded types, I'm giving it a try. This is very interesting, being able to write almost Haskell-style code without laziness or garbage-collection.
Why this over say spinning up a cluster on AWS? You're paying for HW and watts either way, and AWS already has the hardware sharing built in. For just $10, you can get ~100 GPU spot instances for an hour, which is a ridiculous number of cores/flops.
It's a good talk. Puts together some common themes of the moment: immutability, referential transparency, shrinking the responsibilities of the data, entity-component systems to track aggregations of data, and an "escape hatch" for moving necessarily side-effectful code into the smallest possible context.
How to Install Memcached on Ubuntu 14.04
At some level we're probably just going to disagree. There is ample video of various agencies of the federal government along with local and state law enforcement being used to prevent news organizations from filming the environmental impact across the gulf coast, and the Coast Guard was one of these. I also believe that injecting nearly two million gallons of Corexit was done without regard for the impact on marine life; it was done to ensure that the oil would settle on the bottom of the gulf. So less spoiled beaches was obviously good, but the impact on marine life and ecosystem made the spill much much worse. Read the Wiki page on Corexit (FWIW, I have a degree in chemistry from UNC-CH).

And since you mentioned the Marine Economic Defense Zone (otherwise known as the Exclusive Economic Zone), this is presumably what entitled a Coast Guard cutter to board my sailboat about 3 NM off the coast of Bimini in international waters? You all forced me to reduce speed to 3 knots and spent two hours searching my boat. So long in fact that you made me arrive in Miami after dark. You all kept telling me that it was a safety search (flares, life jackets, etc.), but we all know you were looking for illegal immigrants, drugs, and guns. And you found none. But you did endanger myself and my girlfriend. And for the record, my girlfriend attended the Coast Guard Academy in 1984.

I'm glad you were or are in the Coast Guard. I know you would have done your best to rescue me if I'd triggered my EPIRB. We're not debating that. But I do believe that the US military was essentially deployed to protect BP's image in the Gulf although there's an idiom that goes something like, 'never ascribe to malice that which can otherwise be ascribed to stupidity'. So maybe all that just happened because of the same incompetence that gave us Michael Brown as FEMA director for Katrina. It's not like I claim we have a functional federal government.

I think you guys are kind of mixing up his product business, which was a passive income generator, and his consulting practice, for which Patrick never had the problem of not knowing to "charge more".

(I'm one of his cofounders now, and have talked to him a lot about this, so I'll speak up for him while he's on his flight back to Tokyo).
> Smooth response is absolutely essential for touch usability. Without it, you can not have any sort of precision on an already imprecise input method. To achieve this, you really do need to near 60 frames per second.

I would love to see mobile devices that are not touch based. Touch requires a very high premium on performance. Buttons would have worked wonders. For a FirefoxOS phone where it is Gen 1, the start should have been a button phone and every developer would be required to create an interface that would work well with buttons.
Jony is an industrial designer by trade and heart. So "design" for him and everyone else doesn't just mean how it looks but how it is made.

I don't know about the process for making the Mac Pro red but given how much time Apple spends on material engineering I would assume it is non trivial.
I quit the software industry and all of its stupidity. After trying to change culture I decided that maybe it was me that didn't fit the ridiculous notion that software companies are today. We will see how my next endeavor goes but at least it doesn't have 'burn down charts' and MVPs.

We designed the standard library to accommodate them, but working on an actual proposal was put off till post 1.0. It's a very highly desired feature.
I have talked to Patrick at what I think he & I & Erin would agree is excruciating length on this subject and that name has never come up in those conversations. Many others have: Peldi, Amy Hoy, I think Brennan Dunn, and most especially Joel Spolsky.
Living on Mars would be like having Vancouver's costs and Toronto's weather, so I'm not sure I see the advantage.
Then I think I didn't understand your comment.
Not sure why this comment got downvoted without a reply.

Anyway, I remember hearing the same argument when Youtube exploded. It's one thing to have a product (Bingo Cards, Youtube or whatever) but distribution and an existing client base is another.
The first time I landed in Atlanta (as a destination, not a connection airport) I took a taxi from the Atlanta airport to Sandy Springs (exactly on the opposite side of downtown, just outside the Perimeter). Shortly after leaving the airport, my driver diverted off the interstate (ostensibly to avoid a traffic jam) and promptly proceeded to drive around in circles, lapping the same parking lot twice (he was about to do it a third time before I intervened) because his GPS was telling him to turn around and get back on the highway and he didn't quite realize that was happening and kept missing the U-turn. (Also, the overall rate is close to twice Uber's.)

I don't really trust Uber any further than I can throw my smartphone, but anything is better than a generic airport taxi. (At LGA, I've taken cabs more often than Atlanta -- it's harder to wait for Uber in the cold of winter -- and while I've never had any real trouble with Uber ever I've had two different taxi drivers pulled over and issued a ticket while I was in the taxi, both of them for running a red light on a left-hand-turn signal...)

Anyway. In conclusion: fuck you, Atlanta airport/government.
Design includes usability. I suspect you are confusing it with aesthetics - a common mistake.
In many cities (Florence comes to mind) there is a tacit understanding where street vendors sell good on the streets, but have to be able to put them away quickly enough to "hide" them when the police car comes past on one of it's periodic circuits.

The variable enforcement of laws (like my example, and also like the laws around taxi pick-ups) is something I'm very interested in from a formal economics view. Are there any studies showing the how the loose enforcement impacts different groups?
Wow, reading comprehension fail on my part, thank you.
That's true - what is gonna be much harder for any new competitor is to match BCC's SEO. Nine years worth of intelligent, diversified, and Google friendly reputation building is not going to be duplicated quickly.

It wouldn't be an _impossible_ task to outcompete BCC I suspect, especially if the new owner just lets it coast and wind down instead of staying on top of the game (which Patrick readily admits he hasn't done for some time), but I suspect you'd probably need a PPC budget of around the same magnitude that the new owner just paid to kick-start a competitor - even if you already had production-ready code and a suitable hosting platform ready-to-go.

I think you're right - in that assuming "it'll be paid off in three years" is a naive view of the way SaaS businesses age - but I also suspect there are already several "exactly the same product"s out there already, none of which have got the traction BCC has, and that the value here is not in a bunch of code that makes PDFs from lists, but in the business backend and the historical web presence and SEO.

I didn't have much against the Apple watch myself. It's an incredibly tricky thing to pull off and I don't really think anyone has so far. What were you expecting in terms of design? It seems like it's hands down the best watch with straps very well done. I prefer a circular look but then I can easily understand going for a regular look both technically (more hardware volume) and design wise (most information is displayed much better in rectangular form).

There'll be a few iterations to make it nicer looking, can't say they did a bad job.

About the rectangular/circular form thing... I think the problem may be calling it a smartwatch. A smartphone isn't really a smartphone. It's a portable all-in-one (built in screen, speakers, microphone etc) computer, whose telephone functionality happens to be the least interesting (and at one point shifting to voice over ip, meaning it's as much a smartphone as your laptop or desktop computer is). Calling phones small tablets makes more sense, at least until recently when phones rival tablet sizes. But nobody really complains because the semantical evolution makes some sense and doesn't cause any real friction. But with a smartwatch, people expect it to look like this [0] but it doesn't, because it's main function is not telling time. Its main function is being a wrist computer, which happens to also be able to tell time. And that wrist computer does things that fit better in a rectangular form, which creates friction with people to whom a rectangular watch happens to be pretty ugly.

Anyway I didn't think the first iPhone was particularly pretty. I can't say the apple watch is different. In today's context it is nice in my opinion, just like the iphone was back then in comparison, but I still don't want an apple watch right now. I'm happy to wait out the 2016-17 versions.

Never settling: here’s how we use OKRs to turbocharge team growth
I was one of the participants in that thread. lionhearted's post got a bad reception because it didn't just stop at suggesting Patrick charge more, it went into armchair psychoanalysis and crossed the line into publicly pitying someone else.

I like Sebastian, so I didn't rip him a new poop chute for his post. I think he unquestionably meant well. But it's a good lesson about being very careful in how you shine a spotlight on what you think someone else's issues are.

IIRC it was tptacek that had a face-to-face with Patrick who changed his thinking the most on what he was worth after Patrick did some consulting for Matasano. tptacek has a pretty deft hand with that sort of thing.

(Upvoted you, even though we disagree on what that thread was about it's still an interesting thing to point out.)
Everyone's world is generated from the same random seed (so everyone's galaxy is identical) and you'll be able to see who discovered certain places first.

However, there is no simultaneous multiplayer. You won't see other players running around your world.
My understand of this is roughly:

* There's a fairly liquid market for sites of any sort that have a demonstrated ability to generate revenue.

* The valuation of those sites goes up when revenue is recurring.

* The valuation goes up with history/track record.

* That market is not especially oriented towards teachers.

Given the universe of different sites you could build that would charge a subscription fee to serve some niche of customers, it would be pretty weird to compete for the Bingo Card space.

(I was surprised at how liquid the market for this stuff was.)

I do. I'd like to see copyright completely abolished. I think it does far more harm than good.

No, the melody was originally called Good Morning to All and has been around since 1892, IIRC. The Warner/Chappell claim is based on the lyrics, which just barely meet the threshold requirements for something to be even identifiable as a work.
Mesh networking + crypto seems to be an incredibly disruptive technology that I'm surprised hasn't seen wide market adoption. The technology obviously exists and works, as it has been shown being used by protesters or in disaster relief areas. Why has this not been proliferated world over, from developing countries to cheap internet providers? (Not calling anyone lazy or stupid, I'm legitimately curious as to what social, technical or legal roadblocks must be holding this tech back)
I was, and I am still looking forward to Firefox OS. Not because of the cheap devices, but because it is open, it's html apps and it isn't run by the same type of company that makes Android or iOS.
Being a bit disingenuous, no ? Literally has two definitions the first being the more correct as it is an extension of the word literal. The classical definition and the more recent definition (last few years).

As I articulated, in both definitions it is not like having an iPhone on your wrist.

In a system where nearly everything is forbidden are burdensomely permitted, enforcement ends up targeting the most vulnerable in society (the poor, minorities, etc).

I think most Americans would be shocked if, overnight, every law on the books in the US, from income tax on cash income to street vendor permitting, to casual, personal drug usage, to hair salon certification laws, to laws against home poker games, were stringently and consistently enforced across the board. Half of Americans would be in prison or in court before the end of the year.
Why have you decided to keep that song in instead of replacing it with something else or creatively omitting it? It seems that it would be worth the effort to avoid the complication of obtaining the license.
Tbh I2P would be a more suitable platform to build a messenger similar platform to Ricochet, in fact there was an effort to get exactly that up and running called Invisible.im, but that later merged with Ricochet to avoid duplication.

But as I2P is the ideal network, I2P-Messenger is far from the ideal client. Most of the code is a mess of if else statements and there are no other features than being able to chat 1on1 with another I2P-Messenger instance.

No, vagueness of the level of that GPL phrase isn't how the law is, and, in fact, vagueness can make a law, contract, or, e.g., license provision devoid of legal effect.
I think there's a very good chance he'll be working on Apple Store design, alongside Angela Ahrendts. I think there's a very good chance she'll want a redesign and, for something so critical to Apple's success, Ive will definitely want to be involved.

He was involved in the design of the new Apple Watch display tables[1] that have arrived in Apple stores, as mentioned in the fairly recent interview with Ive in The New Yorker, so I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be involved in store design, too.

Yeah, the conversation degrades into wishful thinking pretty fast when you ask how we should distribute IP costs once we do away with the patent and copyright system.

Software patents may be broken, but we shouldn't throw away everything because of it.
