No, prime has music, instant video, free shipping, discounts, etc. It is a loss leader that can costs Amazon way more than $100 per member. Otherwise Amazon would scrap the 10% and give all its employees prime.

On entitlement, It's not entitlement. If Amazon can't compete or doesn't want to compete on perks, that is their preprogative. Entitlement is not in Amazon's vocabulary. They have no concept of entitlement. When Amazon employees are forced to wake up at 3am to fix something it's not because Amazon feels entitled to their sleep time. It's because Amazon has devolved into barbarianism and raw power to force people to do things is all that matters there. There is no concept of entitlement because entitlement would mean some rule of law exists. The only reason a discount probably exists is because there is some small psychological benefit to the company that is greater than the (tiny) cost. So when someone feels they should get something more from an employer in that environment it is simply reciprocal hostility.
> Criticizing it for any of those things is a demonstration that you do not understand how science is supposed to function.

Good luck criticizing science when you forbade yourself to criticize pretty much all study shortcomings using those all-encompassing guidelines that all point to a single conclusion, i.e. "Don't criticize me, I'm just a prediction bro".
Besides the fact that there is a lot of GPL-licensed software out there, what makes all this software so abhorrent to you that you wouldn't even come near to it?

In general, I think rants need stated reasons.
Ray Ozzie Memo (2005) [pdf]
"Elite" simply means "drawn out of the larger pool". Sure, there is a lot of social baggage around that word, as in a sense of superiority, but the in the general case there is no such implication.

What's wrong with hanging around with folks who get your jokes (and vice versa)? They don't have to form the totality of your identity.

Somehow it seems uncontroversial when someone finds a group of, say, fans of their favorite team (or rock band) and says, "now I am with my people!" Is there some peculiar difference in regards to books or maths jokes?
How about putting

#if !defined(__AVR__) && !defined(__MSP430__)

#warning "Fix this FIFO - ++/-- possibly not atomic!"

#endif

into the header of that thingy then. Save work on small uCs, and be warned when moving it somewhere else.
Sometimes the government builds things in stupid places which encourages people to do stupid things, like try to farm in the desert. And yes, water rights are property rights, but the answer simply cannot be "now you're stuck spending 80% of your water on something that makes up 2% of GDP."

There has to be a way for California's current government to fix its old mistakes. The government could tax water per gallon, or impose steep property taxes on water rights. Both would solve the problem and side-step any Constitutional takings claims by farmers.
many online stores i've seen/used actively block those cards due to fraud/chargeback/etc reasons
As I'm thinking about this more, I think it almost makes my point even more. The only thing about Linux that is useful for an entrepreneur is that it is "free as in beer". How many startups are looking at the source code for Linux, ever?

Certainly thankful for cheaper servers, but that could be accomplished with MIT or BSD, or even closed source.
Another interesting fact about almonds. They're actually the most cost effective use of water from the volume to profit ratio.

So, yes, it takes more water the produce a bushel of almonds then it does to produce a bushel of <whatever>. However, that bushel of almonds earns more profit per gallon.

What does this mean? It means if you start charging farmers for water usage (rather than access) then almonds are a more attractive crop then others crops from a profit perspective.

Counter to what most believe, restricting farmer's water access or charging more for water might actually increase the shift to certain water intensive luxury crops like almonds.
I can understand this. I feel a little hurt when a really good friend offers a handshake. Handshakes feel like there's a bit of social distance.
"By atomizing our experience to the point of alienation—or, at best, by creating substitutes for common experience"

I don't know much about the social life in France, but in the US we've done this with the last couple of generations independent of computers and in response to, unjustified statistically, fear. We plan our children's activities and kill opportunities for exploration and organic growth. We lock people up who leave their kids to run as previous generations because we need to make everything safe.

Amazon does not lead, we were already there and they filled a need. Our common thread is planned, isolated, micro-metered, and safe.
Is there any "best practice" Go, especially in terms of architecturing apps? I come from a long php background, and spent the past 3 weeks learning and prototyping a Go project. Looking at my code, I definitely have "open source stage fright". Any links/advice/books appreciated.

You should take a look at the WebRTC stack. Opus => RTP => DTLS => SCTP => UDP.

For simpler applications you can drop parts of that, for example just RTP over UDP if you don't need retransmissions or encryption.

Life lessons aside, it's alot harder to spend your $20/week on weed or booze or gambling when it's an Amazon credit.
don't think I agree with this. The environment of a bookshop invites smalltalk around titles and lookers. On a cafe people are much less inclined to such behavior and libraries, imho, attract a different crowd. At least where I am from, they tend to be used for education related work assignments and tend to be very quiet.

I remember more than ten years ago, driving with my father for 40 minutes at 2:00 AM to go to a 24/7 bookstore that had a great coffee. We would do that often, specially in the odd hours where it was not as crowded and the experience much more enjoyable. I started reading "Dune" and "Tao Te King" in there while drinking tea of coffee and talking to random people I never met again. Now, that place is a clothes store, there is no nice bookstores in my city anymore. I don't believe that reading on a kindle or similar device on a coffee shop will have the same effect but then, it might just all be nostalgia...
The first time I read that, I was charmed and amused. The next time I read it, after progressing farther in my own studies, I found Feynman's voice and self-described persona unbelieveably arrogant.

Certainly he has earned the right to that arrogance, but it makes the book and its fascinating stories much harder for me to enjoy. I now prefer to stick with his scientific, rather than personal, books, but, despite my best attempts to ignore it, even my enjoyment of those scientific works is diminished by what I perceive of his personality, and I wish now that I hadn't gone back and re-read his biographic works.

Some of the "errors" you point out are only barely even errors, like missing `alt` attributes (nice for accessibility, not so helpful when the image isn't actually content).

Others like using empty trs for spacing is just old-school HTML wrangling. Could it be improved? Sure. Does it actually matter? Only barely.

Many of the errors are dupes; if you roll them up there are significantly fewer "errors". Which makes sense, because the HTML on HN is trivial to begin with, by design.

What was the point, even?

Where does the title of the post come from? I guess 'poach' is meant to be 'poaches', but the title of the linked article seems to be "China Poaches Top Talent from Mozilla Taiwan for IoT Projects", which is at least as informative, and subtly different. (Also, the linked article refers to the relevant poacher as Gong Li, not Li Gong; but I know that converting name order from Chinese meaningfully to English is a tricky business.)
>they cannot simply change the licensing of the existing code from MIT to GPL.

That is an issue of contention. GPL advocates believe that they are permitted to do that, and have done so in the past. The Software Freedom Law Centre (the legal arm of the FSF) advices developers that they are permitted to do it[1], as do GPL advocates on HN[2].

I wondered at the monumental self-centredness of calling the start-up "Gong Fishing", but it appears to be just a typo for "Gone Fishing".
Thanks for the feedback.

It is not the first time he has shown interest in doing something with his computer more than playing.

I understand the importance of him being motivated and doing something he can share with his friend, I will only act as a helping hand when he asks for help, it is not my project (I got my own kid who is my project;)

But thanks for the reminder!
No, something that's as primitive as Go is quite hard to move to. I understand the language, but I can't think in it and so using it is very far from easy.

If you can find somebody to deliver a telegram, chances are that you can get in contact with just about anybody other than the president by sending them a telegram.

It is interesting that in Sweden, the debt of the population in Sweden has not grown as fast as the assets. Since 1996 when the assets where 2x the dept, the gap has widened. The debt is now nearly 3x the debt. (The last graph in on the page, unfortunately in Swedish). It didn't say anything how this debt and assets are distributed though.

I am not saying debt isn't a fundamental part of policy, but in a place like Sweden actually not having more debt than you can handle is possible. http://www.scb.se/sv_/Hitta-statistik/Artiklar/Bostadslanen-...

I don't quite buy that a pretty low level language reduces developer fright. In my mind Go is a replacement for C more than the next Python. In that respect it is still intimidating for developers who have never done or done very little low level programming.
The situation in California has almost no resemblance to your dry-valleys-fed-with-runoff lore. The southern San Joaquin Valley is forcibly irrigated using tens of billions of dollars worth of infrastructure to pipe water where is doesn't naturally go. Same for Imperial in the South, and every major urban center south of Fresno.

"Buy more at market rate" means nothing if there is no water that's actually deliverable. Now that reservoirs are running dry, that's exactly what's starting to happen.
I'm in Africa and... I'm sorry, but we have nameservers already. That's not really a problem. Are you really talking about DNS servers here? I wasn't sure.

The issues which prevent those spikes you'd like to see on the maps at Google are education (primarily literacy, especially English literacy), access to devices, and culture. Access to devices is being solved by cheap smartphones becoming obtainable to some degree and constant improvements to data networks in African countries, but the other two have no easy solution.

EDIT: To maybe make it a bit easier - consider someone in a village (with a cellphone and access to a data network) who wants to find out why something happened to the carrot he was growing at home. All of us would pop open Google and search about some information about carrots. A guy in a village would head up the road to talk to his friend who's been farming for 50 years and knows about carrots. If you tried to tell him "hey, you could ask Google that question" the only reply you'd get would be "I don't really know about that".

I've had someone come to me to ask me to look up bus fares on the internet for them. They'd hand me a piece of paper with the URL for the bus companies tariff page. Not too interesting until that same person later pulled out his Windows Phone smartphone to make a phone call, and he had full internet access and a good mobile browser on that phone.
I'm very open minded, but it is still difficult for me to adapt to the culture differences for two reasons.

The first problem is lacking feedback. Nobody would correct you, if there is a difference, until you find it by yourself too late or in a nasty way. Sometimes people's disfavor is very subtle, because they want to be polite too. You will have to sense it.

Many years ago, my cousin visited us in China. With her were her friends, a Filipino american family (I guess they were raised in the U.S.). They gave me a gift and I didn't open right away. They asked why? They didn't seem to be happy and accused me of being rude.

Another year, I visited Germany. My family has a very good German friend. She insisted to give me money and gifts as it was during the Chinese new year. But based on my culture training I refused it. She seemed to be upset, she thought our family was refusing her.

The second problem is that culture is really a habit thing. When it grows on you, it is really difficult to change. When people say "Oh, you are really good at this." The Chinese response would be "No, I'm not good at this at all!" But I would look like an idiot if I say this in the U.S. I knew it, but it really needs some mental power to correct it, because conversations happen so fast and sudden, you don't have time to think.

I spent a lot of time to change it to "Really!" and finally only recently I had learnt to respond "Thank you!"

> There were data hygiene and application/network security best practices that OPM should have followed

Like what? Can you reference anything?

Your comment criticizes security but, this is a HUGE leak. You can't just sweep this kinda data under the rug for the sake of usability. That's just laziness. The mission matters and is important, but if you can't protect the data that people give you, you shouldn't have it at all.

This was a government agency; there is NO REASON for any kind of security tradeoff.

A company with CC info? Ok, yeah that's a different story with different tradeoffs. But this is the kind of data breaches that can cause vast amounts of harm to individuals and the nation; people's lives are put in danger by this leak. You wanna tell me that it's OK to sacrifice security for the sake of usability in cases like that? Would you feel the same if it was your life that was now at risk?

They had a responsibility to protect the data they held AS WELL AS to serve the mission. not one or the other. both. it is irresponsible to take risks with data that is not yours.
Thanks, didn't know this was there. It is somewhat buried, but does give you a list of unused selectors.

And yet, in a competitive marketplace for servers, the BSDs and closed source operating systems have not succeeded to nearly the same degree as Linux, despite predating Linux by many years.

Why do you think that is?

Ask HN: I feel like I know less every day
I'm in my 20s and I've been always spending lots of time in front of the computer enjoying learning since I was a kid. However the past couple years I've spent most of my time in HN or Reddit (some technical subreddits) to realize that I don't know much about anything. While this is an obvious conclusion, I feel very stressed about new technologies coming up every day and me being unable to cope with the ones that are at least applicable to my field (web and systems). What do you recommend so that I can go back to enjoy this as I did before without worrying that much?
The Hobbesian model of freedom sanctions sovereign violence solely for the purpose of keeping the peace. There is no higher level sanction based on morality. Proprietary software licensing and copyleft licensing are not ajudged against some platonic ideal but only upon their keeping or destroying the peace. There's no deductive proof of inherent goodness, only moment by moment induction. TANSTAAFL.
I think it's likely that Golang apps won't stress the GC as much as Java does, because of the simple fact that you can't realistically use j.u.c-style concurrent data structures, since you don't have generics. Where the JVM GC really shines is when you're using shared-memory concurrent data structures, which are really great things—however, without generics, programmers just won't use them in the first place.

(I'm not saying this is a negative for Java, BTW; making shared memory data structures both fast and idiomatic is really important if you care about performance of parallel code.)

Regarding "it imposes rather strict conditions": Yes, it imposes the condition that the user of the software retain their freedoms with respect to the software.

Software freedom is a double-edged sword: to have it, you have to restrict other people's freedom to take it away from you.
I agree, I'm also 39. Force isn't obvious and actions are aimed at compliance which demonstrates perceived value. I've never seen myself as being on a "career path", everything in my life is a moving target. Engaged in a company's problems isn't why I woke up this morning.
Walking slowly is a metaphor for living a fulfilling life where you enjoy the things in front of you to the fullest.

After all, when you are walking slowly, you can enjoy the sounds of the birds, the feel of the grass and land beneath your feet, and the smell of the lilacs.

But when you rush, your mind is elsewhere, busy, concerned, away from the moment you are truly in.

Any one who wishes the former upon me is a good friend of mine.
I'd go even further than that. For RMS he'd rather a problem not be solved using computers at all, if solving the problem with computers would require or even just enable non-free software.

The most recent example of this was the debate over refactoring tools in emacs that used an AST generated by gcc. RMS was against this, even though all the code involved was free, because it would mean exposing the AST generated by gcc to external processes, some of which might be non-free. So he'd rather people not have refactoring tools at all, than enable the possibility of a non-free IDE existing that uses the AST from gcc.
"Take it easy" isn't particularly vague to me. Consider "it." What is "it?" Whatever it happens to be, there are many alternative ways to take it. You could take it hard, or grudgingly, or angrily. The directive is instead to take it easy.
Why women aren't having children
The present Western Union Money Transfer is not really a descendant of the the Western Union Telegraph Company. It's more of a successor of First Data, the payment systems company. Through a confusing series of mergers and selloffs in the 1980s, involving about five companies, the money transfer business ended up with the Western Union name.

The telegram business was incredibly low-volume by modern standards. In the 1970s, I visited Western Union's international message gateway in Mawah, NJ. Most Atlantic international message traffic passed through a pair of UNIVAC computers. One woman at a CRT terminal handled all mail bounces for transatlantic traffic. About once a minute, she had a message to deal with. The computers were not heavily loaded. The tape drive logging traffic for NSA wrote a block every few seconds.

HTML is a document markup language, not a programming language. There's no reason the site should not work in the case of markup not meeting strict standards, certainly not for the errors listed.

Also, it's not even really 66 errors - it's mostly the same three errors repeated over and over (no alt tag for images, adding a div inside a center tag and something to do with the end tag for table row.)

Although, there is also no reason for HN not to conform to standards.

The macbook pros tend to use more correctly calibrated colour than typical desktops with monitors, and typical non-apple laptops; This means that decisions made on non-reference monitors that have never been calibrated.. well, they can look completely wrong on a monitor with the correct calibration.

On the web, you don't really know what you'll run into. You should aim for a level of contrast so sharp that it borders on uncomfortable, so that when the contrast between your colour selections is less than you thought, it'll still at least be legible.
