I think something that could really help this app succeed, is sharable UI elements.

There are a lot of common things I don't want to redraw (date pickers, dropdowns, file uploads, etc, etc). However, I don't want these provided as a static set, because the web and my needs are always changing/growing.

If I was able to browse the community's drawings and add them to my profile for quick insertion into a mockup that would be great or even create my own for reuse.

Just my two,

Ask HN: Application “image binary data”
I refer to the Computer demo of Socket.io

https://github.com/kevin-roark/socket.io-computer
"It works by running qemu on the server-side and streaming the image binary data to the browser."

Is this possible with any linux/X11 application or is the "image binary data" something specific to qemu?

Depending on the next answer, would it be possible with an application spawned as a thread, or on a headless machine?

Thanks
Long story. It's inessential, but I'd really like to have enough for a particular event. Details by email if you are interested.

I have references with grammar, and I have some vocab, but the problem is getting simple enough language in sufficiently good audio, given my time constraints. It's complicated.
I lost about 30 pounds 10 years ago. It was a time when I was fairly active, but I'm convinced that the main part of the weight loss came from one thing: I stopped eating French Fries. Replacing french fries with a different (or no) side had a small effect. But it also altered where I ate. You're not going to go to McDonald's if you can't order fries.
Here's a screenshot for those behind corporate firewalls:

I can't help but feel that your evidence that it is false is that it is politically incorrect. Prove me wrong?

(Bear in mind that one can not have both "There's a lot of diversity in the world, and that's a good thing, and we should seek more diversity" and "All cultures are precisely the same". Pick at most one.)
Not with "Aside:", and not without any other context. Especially since they might bundle software (which you'd want to avoid) without having their own startup. So the question is completely unrelated (and the author of the question admitted it).

If one wants to ask a related question, ask a related question: "Do you bundle adware with any software that you distribute? If so, which software is that?"
Some people build "graph databases" on top of storage backends that are ill suited for such workloads. e.g you can build a "graph database" (or K/V store) on top of MySQL, but the performance is terrible - http://java.dzone.com/articles/mysql-vs-neo4j-large-scale

a "native graph database" is one that is actually designed for the task.
Definitely not. It is a HEAP overflow exploit. It allows you to write arbitrary data outside the bounds of the allocated memory in the heap.

The string is likely only important due to its length. Using an alternate 10 character string triggers the same error:

If NSA had spent all its resources in increasing the security of internet, they would have a lot less reasons for such spying.

> focus on compounds; squat, deadlift, bench press, shoulder press, pullups, rows

This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, but recommending pull-ups to someone out of shape who needs to loose weight is just bizarre.

If someone was a beginner on the bench press, would you start them at 250lbs and yell at them to push harder? No. That would be stupid and dangerous.

Yet somehow fat people are supposed to will themselves to do a pull up, which is basically the equivalent.

We could even put "Security" in that agency's name. That would surely do the trick.

I'm not sure how we can change the government's (executive mostly) mind on this. Right now it thinks more offensive capabilities + more surveillance = cybersecurity. Just like with the War on Terror, they're using "cyber terror" to give themselves even more power, instead of actually solving the problem.

Thanks to the Iraq war, the USA set in action what led to the creation of ISIS, and with its war on strong security and encryption, it's making all of us less secure, and therefore more open to cyber attacks.

So it's worse than "not having a real solution" to these problems. They are actually exponentially making the situation worse with their "solutions".
I don't believe "someone else is going to help so why bother" is the real reason.

My candidate: social awkwardness and feelings of inadequacy. "Is this real? If I'm the only one making a fuss I'll look like an idiot. Oh please let someone else take the first step so it won't be everyone looking to me for direction. I don't know what I'm doing. Help, how do I CPR?" Often combined with a fear for personal safety. "Will the car explode? Will the bus fall on me? Is the drunk guy going to stab me if I touch him? Or infectious? Or about to vomit when I do rescue breaths? Will I go to jail if I get it wrong and he dies? Isn't it better to not involve myself?"
Reading my post again, it was way too black-and-white. I was typing it out on a phone, so it's hard to express anything in detail. Of course cheating is decently common in all cultures, my point was that I didn't feel that cheating was respected as a sign of cleverness in Chinese culture, more that if there's just huge pressure on you to get high marks, win, etc., and little focus on other side goals, then cheating is sort of a natural side effect.

For example, in high school and university, most of my friends had parents who wanted them to do well grades-wise, but also wanted them to focus on other things like their social life, hobbies, and developing a passion in a specific area. Low grades wouldn't draw any more concern than not socializing much, not having hobbies, etc., and a "well rounded" life with mediocre grades was general seen as "my kid's doing well."

Among my Chinese friends, it was more common for their parents to focus on grades above all else. The parents weren't that interested in the side goals, they really just applied huge pressure to their kids to get the highest grades. The kid could be doing all sorts of awesome things, but if their grades were mediocre, their parents were generally pretty disappointed.

I figure it's more likely something like this with the Baidu team - major pressure to win, above all else, that would drive the cheating, vs. cheating being seen as some positive sign of cleverness.
Even though it might not match some definition of NLP, it does process a natural language. It might not include AI of some sorts but it does its job. It's (probably) fast and extracting basic information from written text is quite useful.

Honestly, I don't see how they aren't in trouble yet. With how long GoDaddy has been around, and how dominant they are in terms of "casual" domain owners, it blew me away when I saw that they have yet to be profitable a single year.

Sure, feudalism is a form of decentralized government, but what lies at its very heart -- the core of feudalism, if you will -- is the ability to own people via obligations they make because they have no choice, and cannot free themselves from. Freedom is a continuum, but only a fool would claim that feudalism brings more freedom to more people than a centralized, democratic government. What is often absent from reactionary accounts of history, is how few in number, how incredibly rare were the people who were able to enjoy those forms of government. The manorial system -- feudalism's economic system -- is mentioned in the article in passing, but it was only made possible by serfdom, a form of slavery. The vast majority of people were serfs -- had to be for feudalism to work -- and they lived on the brink of starvation so that their lord could eat.

Feudalism is a rather natural form of organization that arises wherever there's a lack of central governance. In the late 19th century, a form of modern feudalism emerged in the US, under the control of the robber barons. Because of lack of regulation, corporations were able to own people, paying them with non-convertible company currency so that they couldn't leave. It was only when the population cried for freedom, with the help of some pioneering journalists, that the US government stepped in with regulation that freed the people.
That was the original title at the time of submission, they appear to have updated the title (and maybe the article) since.

The difference probably has to do with the fact that SpaceX has a functional revenue model beyond what's essentially a pre-order. Further down in the Wikipedia article for SpaceX, as of 2012 they had taken in over $4 billion in lifetime revenue. Also, they got a $1 billion investment from Google and Fidelity in exchange for 8.333% of the company this past January.

I think the answer really is money, SpaceX has more of it because it has built a product it can actually sell right now.

This might be less of a popular opinion, but I believe this is exactly when NSA surveillance is rightly placed.

In a world where hacking has left teenage basements and has become weaponized and used by governments around the world - collecting information about foreign hackers is a legitimate use of surveillance powers for Military self defense.

"By choice", a Hobson's choice, perhaps.

You're clearly so invested in this ideal that you even retroactively shoehorn acts against or apathetic to it in the same framework. This isn't worth discussing because the conception of democracy you're operating under is simplistic and incorrect.
How true that is, dealing with trains, barges, and government issued ids will teach some seriously valuable lessons on that score.
StiKey – Sticker Keyboard for iOS
That's not the criticism. They're not cobbling a solution together to prevent bankruptcy, they're cobbling together a solution to an already solved problem. Ecommerce fulfillment companies exist, and they chose a freight company with inadequate technology for their needs. Then they're justifying it by saying they hacked a solution for only $500, when it's really costing $500 + 6 months salary + hurt reputation for an extremely late delivery.

They could've incorporated a company that used EDI (or an API) to tie into their database to process orders much more effectively than hacking together a solution with a store bought laptop.
That's cute and all but

In the real world, it's common to see network professionals who apparently specialize in preventing communications between computers. Similarly, it's common to see DBA's whose number one goal seems to be preventing anyone from accessing the data. And it's also common to find engineers who seem focused on seeing every goal as impossible, and business analysts who when they hear what you want tell you why you can't have it. It's not rational but it's very common!

And in locations such as yours, you've found people to be more lenient with times.

I'm originally from a country with fairly crap transportation infrastructure. Consequently, the culture is very much one of "we'll see you at around X" rather than "meetings are at X". And, no one has a problem because it's a well-known problem that everyone faces.

But if you are the one who is always late, then you are the one doing something wrong.

Note that I'm not talking about being late to work. I'm talking about being late to mutually agreed upon events at specific times in a way that causes other people to wait for you. Surely all work doesn't need to come to a standstill untill you get in everyday?
The professor makes a pretty elementary error in calculating the amount the user would have to pay to replace advertising. She cites the profit per user—not the revenue.

I agree with your comments, including your assertion that basic income is an implementation of this sentiment. But, we aren't nearly there yet, even while we as a society nearly unanimously espouse that people are more important than work, etc. This is part of what I find to be disingenuous.

And, many of those who argue against a BI would also agree with the notion that friends and family are more important than work.

In any case, the current state of affairs is that we must eat to work (and feed those we love). In this context, admonishing people to prioritize people over work is disingenuous nearly cruel.

I think of this as part of a broader failure of the USA to build, repair, and fortify infrastructure. We have crumbling roads, failing bridges, and, now, telecom and computing services that are rather unimproved since inception, decades ago.

Now, I realize that, as an intelligence agency, NSA's core mission is to spy. But I take issue with the intentional weakening of our infrastructure, e.g., Dual EC DRBG. You don't see DOT going around sabotaging asphalt production.

Yes, instead of seeing time as a point, there is a culture of seeing it as a range. The range is derived from context (how pissed people will be if you are late/how informal is the event). The range might even be different for different people according to their roles. This gives you a buffer to handle many unexpected things. It also allows you to disassociate urgent from important. There are plenty of important things that get done at the expense of arriving late. True, sometimes you have to wait for other people to arrive, but that is expected, so you can arrange your day around it. And when the time comes you know it is okay for them to wait you. It is efficient once you get the hang of it. It is even more efficient now that smartphones are ubiquitous, you can coordinate the range in real time!

IMO, looking at things from a 50+ year perspective is like trying to calculate a score on life. It just seems to miss the point. IMO, you’re better off doing things based on how they improve your life on a random day in the next 50 years.

Consider, becoming a doctor may allow you to take some great vacations and be content that you helped people on your death bed, but those are just a few days so you need to consider the day to day life as a doctor not just the highlights.

Hotels near the airport are cheaper than in the city. BART from the airport to SF is pretty convenient. You might be able to save some money that way but be more comfortable than a hostel. Some hotels include breakfast in the price which can also help.

Alternatively, look on AirBnB or Craigslist for someplace big enough for all of you to share. It might work out about the same as a hostel but would probably be more comfortable. Just be sure to check what part of the city they're in and what your transit options will be from there.
