We'll rank the thread by points, not time-based rank. We won't do that until Sam and Kevin are ready to start, though. Otherwise it would be even more time-sensitive.
Seems like a pop-up implementing this would be ideal, since it's most often accidental: "Hey, this is still running on another device, and you're only allowed 1 device at a time - do you want me to remotely kill the other device's Google Music session?"

After all, most of the time it's not another human using both sessions at once.
I see. I've never heard that term (except as saying when a business is open). Where does it originate in this context?
Writing better comments correlates with better comment scores. HN comnents appear before an audience who can vote. If the voting presentss a problem, blog your thoughts and submit a link, Otherwise treat downvotes as editorial feedback on the quality of your writing. Perhaps your point was not made clear, your reasoning was specious, or your audience was not taken adequately into your account.

I find complaints about downvotes detrimental to HN.
There are two main issues with hydroelectric power (the power density of the two are not easily comparable as their is too much spatial variability in each):

1) Ecosystem disruption (inundation of land as well as blocking migratory aquatic species and significant changes in the downstream water temperature).

2) Almost all of the potential hydroelectric sites in the US (and much of the developed world) have already been utilized (e.g., [1],[2]). That is, capacity can't really expand much. However, the potential for pumped storage (which is not an energy source) is still high.

Wind power production is still nowhere near at capacity even though it suffers from the deficiencies relative to hydro that you have mentioned.

Reasonable people can debate whether it's helpful or harmful to precede public ratification of a trade deal with secret negotiations, but I don't think reasonable people can argue that the only reason to do secret negotiations is to slip toxic provisions past a suspicious public.

Trade deals happen between whole countries, not individual businesses. Each company compromises many hundreds of businesses. In any trade deal, there will be winner companies and loser companies. The negotiators for each country need to strike terms so that the wins pay for the losses and then some. It's much harder to do that if all the big companies that stand to lose from a deal get a veto vote early in the process.

You wrote, "So the boys-like-distortion gender norm trumps the pink-is-for-girls gender norm?" I guess I misunderstood that, but it really sounds like you named a boys-like-distortion gender norm because you think it exists. I disagree because I have been drawn to guitars since I was in my teens and I've gotten into way too many bands that rely upon women.

My friend Shawn introduced me to an Acid King cd the last time he was in town and I have been a fan since. I'm always glad to hear someone mention them as they're on my 'must see live' list. There's a really neat doomy stoner band called Black Moth that has come out with some good stuff. They're sort of like Sabbath with female vocals.

Whether it's the only reason to make it secret or not is not really the point. As long as secrecy allows circumventing the democratic process and create laws through a backdoor it shouldn't be allowed. If you paid attention, these agreements aren't about trade. They are about promoting interests of some businesses through legislative means. Companies can gain or lose, but so is the public. Therefore there is no reason to give companies some preferential treatment here.
> As an aside, from what I know about rhabdomyolysis, it's a condition that can appear when people who are very much sedentary perform very rigorous exercise.

From what I understand, it can also occur when people who are active and fit perform certain workouts (those which emphasize isometric exercises)x in excess.

This is arguably more dangerous and problematic, because it's not as well-known, and companies like Crossfit[0] have been criticized for simultaneously promoting it and failing to provide adequate warning.

Well, no, and the point isn't to excuse them or call them noble for that, the point is that it's an exercise of our values to say that all men have dignity, and that even if we're fighting them it's not much better to dehumanize people for their values than it is for their race.

I mean, what do you think of people who claim we should blow up all the Muslims because they have inferior values? Little bit monstrous of them, right? Or take the Reformation writ large, nations alternately executing Papists and Protestants.
Well it would be nice if you could buy IAP from some other well-known merchants (for example, if you could pay MLB.tv directly to subscribe from the app rather than buying a subscription by paying Apple), but imagine the UX if every single app used their own store and you had to enter your card number for every different app, and all of the people demanding refunds from Apple when Apple had nothing to do with the purchase. Imagine how many people would give their credit card to an app thinking it was Apple they were trusting, then their card gets stolen.

It might be distasteful, but it makes sense from a risk avoidance standpoint

Personally, when I am toying with an idea, I try to create a list of relevant short words/keywords. I also use name generator sites.

I always go for .com domain name as majority of my target audience is typically US based. If .com domain name is not available, I will not brand the product/company with the unavailable domain name. Also, I don't buy domain names from others.

> ... technical publishing into four tasks (1. manuscript creation, 2. production, 3. distribution, and 4. marketing)

I wonder how much value publishers provide on points 3. and 4, relative to a self-distribution and self-marketing approach. Also, the only part of 2. that is not replaceable by scripts (think github.com/softcover) is the developmental editing and the copy editing. These are incredibly valuable.

Authors who choose to self-publish can expect royalties around 30--40% of list price. I bet royalties from mainstream publishers are closer to 1/5th or 1/10th of that (4% to 8% of list price). So the breakeven is clear: if your book will sell 10x more copies due to the distribution and marketing of a mainstream publisher, then go with them, else do your own thing.
> Some people in a small, homogeneous country might feel hat their traditions are worth preserving. Theirs is the voice that matters.

Some cultures have long and proud traditions of oppression, suppression, subjugation, racism, sexism, murder, genocide, and similar; those cultures don't get a vote in whether to continue those traditions.

But with the exception of that, then of course, any culture gets to choose whether it wants to (collectively, rather than just individually) participate and interact with the rest of the world.

And this has nothing to do with resources; we're talking about culture and traditions here, not about land and strip-mining.

But the advantage of C++ is that those abstractions have almost no overhead.

Well, the brilliance of what Stepanov did was to build general purpose algorithms with out taking away random access capabilities which is beneficial for hardware efficiency(even more so now with modern cpus).
Sparkfun CEO Stepping Down
You need to talk to the person you report to at your employer. Dragging the contracting agency into this at this point is not reasonable.

And, unfortunately, you may find that this is the situation and you have to live with it. My first job was very similar. I worked as an embedded C developer at a laser printer manufacturer, and I had to fix bugs in a giant codebase with basically no documentation on the software itself. It was a sink or swim situation, discouraging at first but once I got over the learning curve I did fine.
There's also Client For Google Music (Metro app). I am pretty sure it was free when I got it, but it looks like they're charging $8 now.

That it is a Metro app can be a plus or minus. If you want it in a window, you'll have to wait for Win10 or use something like DisplayFusion.

Only in the same sense that an unjustly accused person will "have no problem" as long as they're actually innocent. In practice, they do have a problem. Firms are afraid of using IQ tests and being the first against the wall.
Whatever happened to Icecast, Shoutcast and just listening to a stream from a radio station?
Reasonable people also debate whether what's happening here "circumvents the democratic process", since the point of the secret negotiation is to generate a proposal that, in the US at least, requires Congressional authorization.

Personally: I think the reason people resort to "undemocratic" and "backdoor" rhetoric is because they realize that once the treaty is put to a "it's this treaty or no treaty" vote, it will inevitably pass. The people who want a more "open" process really want more hooks earlier in the process to hold the whole treaty hostage to their interests. They can do that early in the process because the stakes are very low ("accede to our demands or the negotiation will be delayed"). They can't do that once the treaty is finalized ("accede to our demands or there will be no free trade agreement").

That's not a value judgement. Many of those interests are extremely worthy. But they should be argued on their merits, and not through a misleading appeal to democratic process. Democratic process sometimes seems like what many of TPP's opponents seem to be afraid of. (ducking)

Before you open the national border, you have to start small!

First, get everyone not to lock their front door. Then, ban all fences and "no trespassing" signs.

If that pilot program is successful, then think about opening the borders.

It occurs to me that any country that opens its borders will be instantly flooded with every murderous scumbag that is fleeing from the law elsewhere. You will also be an instant transfer point for the trade of weapons, narcotics and so on. Not to mention human trafficking.

I guess how you deal with that is that you open your border to foreign law enforcement and give them a carte blanche about to conduct their investigation how they see fit, and make arrests.

Speaking of arrests, open borders means that someone can sneak into your country, kidnap someone, and sneak out.
Thanks for the info, that explains it.

why the downvotes? Most people wouldn't consider half a term in congress significant experience. I can't think of many presidents with less. That doesn't mean he did a terrible job or was completely unqualified or anything of the sort. It's just a statement of fact that he didn't have very much experience at the time. Frankly, even though I disagree with his views on most things, I don't think he's actually done that badly. He hasn't done great IMO mind you, but I'm mostly content with how things have gone the last 6 years.

Open source != no cost of distribution: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html

I think there will be "grid scale storage" using various battery technologies (in the loosest sense, including things like pumped hydro, electric storage heaters in people's houses, as well as just standard lithium cells) but I also think that the rise in electric cars will also create a distributed storage and demand management solution.

Your car can receive a signal from the grid and either stop charging or actively feed power back in to the grid. This can be beneficial on even a very short timescale, e.g. lots of UK soccer fans put their kettles on during half-time of the FA cup, and all the electric cars currently plugged in stop charging for 30 seconds or so to counteract the demand spike.

I'm sure I saw an analysis that claimed you needed surprisingly few electric cars before that has a dramatic impact on the optimal way to design an electric grid.

Back in the day, before automated tape readers, tapes were stored in silos, like a library, and employees would find the cataloged tapes and manually retrieve and load them into tape readers. My company use to hire co-ops to do this back in the 70s or so.
