It's basically a drop in replacement for `cabal-install`, while leveraging off Cabal the library, which means package description files don't need to be rewritten, i.e. your old cabal package will still work.

It's a huge departure from using cabal-install. Faster project setup time, and not having to worry about managing sandboxes, compiling a new sandbox, or getting stuck in cabal hell.

So, yes, you could look at it as a cabal-install rewrite.
> What's the tipping point for cable tv? At what point is it no longer sustainable for them to operate as they've traditionally done?

Its probably not a big deal, in the end; if people cord cut and eschew TV-style content, it might hurt cable providers. But cord cutters that just increase consumption of higher-speed internet services are just transferring demand from "cable TV" to "high speed internet", and the providers of those services are largely the same anyway. So, demand shifts, and CATV fades away and ISP prices increase, and the same big companies make the same big money and have to maintain fewer distinct service offerings to do it.
Go for what? That is not something you can answer by up and quitting. When you are grateful you can stop to smell the roses and find meaning in what you do.

This is not meant to be hippie talk. What it really is risk management. When you perceive that you are losing you psychologically want to increase risk to make up for it, leading you to make poor bets. It applies in trading (gambling), where I learned it, but happens in life as well.

Someone in his position needs to consider whether quitting is legitimately a better bet rather than letting emotions dictate.
I just used my brand new Harry's 4 blade razor, and I gotta say, it just blows away my safety razor, in every category, except it doesn't get the mustache hairs that are really close to my nose, so I used my safety razor to get those.
I feel terribly sad to read that, since I'm still in love with Reddit. I've learned so many cool things there, ranging from technical stuff (even HN was probably introduced to me there) to politics, fitness, drugs, and all kinds of cool stuff I can think about. I've probably be using it for a couple years, and I still like it as much as I liked it yesterday. I can realize how cooler it was before, but really, it's still a really good site with really good content.
The problem is that EEGs can only measure symptoms, not root causes. They could have obtained exactly the pattern they were after, but still not have achieved their goal cognitive state.

Wouldn't it need you to buy compatible devices for the home automation to work (If yes, the phone would do that as well - there are 'app' controlled lights/other fixtures).

And Google Now does do one command music streaming (I do that everyday - "Ok Google, Play Music" - and it starts playing). Audible and Reordering past Amazon orders - Some people may find value in that. I don't listen to audio books or reorder stuff in general from them.

I'm also from New Zealand, also went to Yale (albeit as a graduate not undergrad), and also had my mother tell me I was "very American". And I also ran out of options for US visas after 5 years (10 years away from NZ in total), despite a Yale MBA and McKinsey on my resume.

More to the point I stopped trying, seeing that the system was structured against me, and that my ambition of starting my own company(s) was not going to be doable in the USA. (I'd previously started a company in Canada, and already knew that stable immigration status is a prerequisite for a stable/growing business.)

I've been in New Zealand since 2003. It's increasingly wonderful here.

It's so easy to start businesses (I've co-founded several), to invest in businesses (over 20 so far) and to get things done. The early stage eco-system is taking off, led by companies like Xero, Trade Me, Orion Health and Vend, and with others like Timely (@timely), Raygun.io and a growing ecosystem around Xero following. We have seen successful start of crowdfunding, but raising money is still not as easy as it could be (I'm trying to help change that).

Meanwhile the politicians are accessible and not corrupt or extreme, the country is staggeringly beautiful, the food delicious and nutritional, and the economy floated through the GFC as our bankers were sensible and bolstered by solid laws. Auckland is increasingly multicultural and we have free trade agreements with China and many other countries - over 2 billion people worth. And we consistently get near the top of the World Bank's Doing Business rankings and Transparency International's (lack of) Corruption Index - justifiably. I hope the author comes home - NZ is a different place 15 years on.

It would be interesting to separate out the sensitivity (how often does the test give a positive result on good candidates?) from specificity (how often does the test give a negative result on bad candidates?) for each of these tests. I'd guess a fizz-buzz-style test has good sensitivity but terrible specificity.

Maybe because Groundhog Day is just totally crazy and Her ... just a bit. The smaller the mistakes, the more they seem like laziness.

In Groundhog Day it seems like a constructed thing and the main plot that the protagonist lives one day again and again.

In Her it seems like a side-note, that a company is selling their super AI for way to much money to do things that don't need an AI in the first place.

If you want to use such things in your design/composition you have to embrace them and don't do them half-assed.

Ex-Machina had much better premises, but the actors were really bad and the story didn't play with these premises very well.

I think that 'law' is better applied when the headline is trying to catch attention by making an aggressive claim, but wants to not be straight up lying. Here it's genuinely taking a skeptical point of view on binaural beats.

For example 'Could this new device give you thirty more years of life?' (no) versus 'Does Elon Musk have intentions of leaving Tesla soon?' (no) (or yes, I don't really know)

Palantir Valued at $20B in New Funding Round
Probably. It would actually be nice to see statistics for how many businesses (i.e. bars, gyms, restaurants) have cable/satellite subscriptions, especially for sports.

I too am without cable, but there's hardly a shortage of places that have the next game on a TV around me. Having a pint or two for the occasional game (or sitting at the squat rack or elliptical while watching TV) is a much better alternative than paying ludicrous amounts every month.
The Medallion fund is a bizarre outlier. For the most part, high expected return => high risk, which is not what you want for a middle-class wealth-generating engine. It would be much better to tax the hedge-fund winners (at the end-point, with a consumption tax), and redistribute that.

The problem isn't that there isn't any impactful work, its that impactful work is hard to identify at the outset. We've allowed narratives to shape our view of how "impact" gets made: the aha moment when a scientist discovers something in a movie. But the underlying connections between breakthroughs are much more subtle and actually impossibly difficult to predict.

Who would have guessed that the video game industry would push graphics cards to a point where they are now incredibly beneficial to scientific applications? You could say the makers of PC games were just optimizing things for consumers, but there is a direct connection between what they did and the computing power we have for worthwhile applications today.

Who would have guessed, in 1847, that Boole's philosophical papers on logic, would form the foundations of computing a hundred years later? George Boole died without every knowing any of this.

The most impactful changes in people's lives are rarely direct. Seeking "impactful" goals is a trap in my experience. Find something that excites you and if its creative, my money's on that being more useful than you think.
I receive advertising for Netflix Originals when viewing Netflix, now.
Well you're in for a world of pain my brother. Here's a list of other brands that do this: HP, Toshiba, Dell, et al. The excuse they give, albeit stupid and useless IMO, is a valid one. This used to be easy to maneuver around by just flashing your BIOS, but with UEFI and encrypted BIOS' this has become an uphill battle.

That being said, Lenovo still makes great machines (their keyboards destroy everything from the Dell XPS to Macbook Pro and everything in between) on which you can service their internals by yourself - just not the WiFi cards which require whitelist authentication.

It's not like you can't change the card though... just google what cards you CAN swap to and buy one on eBay.
What about large quantities of quartz crystals ? That would seem much more probable than diamond and wouldn't have the sublimation problem of water ice in a vacuum.
SnApp Is Changing the Way Agents Do Business
SnApp builds mobile applications for real estate agents, to enable their clients easy access to MLS listings, and helpful features, such as the ability to save / share listings, send push notifications, and an interactive map search. SnApp also builds mobile apps for other business types.

SnApp Real Estate is revolutionizing the industry, from agents, brokers, and schools, to the homebuyer's property search experience. SnApp focuses on building apps for real estate professionals that enable them to have their very own branded native mobile application, available in the App Store. These personalized apps help homes get purchased faster and easier, by bringing the agent and homebuyer closer together, with more interactive tools.
SnApp allows real estate professionals to take control of their own brand, ensuring there is never a break in connection between agent/broker and their buyer. This is a major problem that many agents experience with the larger 3rd party sites. These personalized real estate mobile apps bring technology closer to the agent, and helps them to stay afloat and compete, in today’s technology-driven world.

SnApp’s new and completely unique platform is changing the way agents do business. The rate structure for agents and brokers is a low sign on fee and continual monthly fee, which covers app-updates (on new operating systems and devices), augmentation of the layout and content, and other basic changes.

SnApp also works with vendors in the industry. They have recently published an app for Key Realty School (keyrealtyschool.com) to assist with marketing and recruitment. The Key School App will act as a first step in better integrating the students as well as generating new prospects for the school. This will also give SnApp a chance to further showcase the app platform’s capability. Additionally, SnApp will make its mobile apps available to the real estate agents that are being trained through their program.
The Unofficial DynASM Documentation: Tutorial
I should think it makes sense to name this law firm so others can be warned.

It's exploitative to hire somebody brilliant with full knowledge that you can simply do nothing and you won't have to deal them into partnership.
Or, they're not putting it front and centre because it's a feature only used by a limited number of (power) users, and generally only set once after install and never looked at again?
Yeah I understood the message of the post was about lining up customers experience and commission, but the $75k number stood out to me. Wasn't sure if the title was getting at both ideas.

I like the idea of the FYE and putting a system in place where salespeople are encouraged only to onboard customers that are going to love Romulus right away. I've always loved that Brian Chesky quote.

And I've done a good amount of reading on the philosophy of happiness recently as well. I agree that the $75k is the not an exact figure. Another big point is that rough figure only accounts emotional well-being[1]. Its all depends on how you measure your happiness.

I haven't ready the UCSB study before, I'll have to take a look at that.

I'm not so sure this is actually "available" spectrum, as it is unused-by-carrier spectrum.

For example: the large dark spot in New Mexico is probably that way for a reason: The VLA is smack in the middle.
I've had the same experience with Fios. I had no desire for TV service, but they offered it with HBO for less than Internet along, so it made sense.

I'd rather use HBO Go most of the time now that I have legit access to it, except logging in on it requires going through Verizon, which manages to screw it up about 50% of the time. It's also perpetually requiring me to re-register my TV with the service.

The On-Demand service is terribly slow to navigate. The cable box also routinely shows interstitial ads when trying to browse the program guide. It's like somehow the additional competition has actually made their service worse.

Very neat visualization! Note that these charts are of static allocations, not dynamic usage. Dynamically, we use very little of the spectrum that we've statistically allocated, even in a busy urban environment: http://www.sharedspectrum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010_0923-G... (see Figure 9 for the punchline). Look at all that open real estate, and think about how much we've managed to do with a measly 100 MHz in the ISM band.

Ask HN: Locked out of Google Aps email with no recourse - advice?
I've been locked out of my Google Apps email for over 24 hrs due to "suspicious activity". I am the admin of the domain so "contacting my admin" is of no help. Filled Contact Us form and spoke to customer support lady who is unfortunately clueless and cannot help me at all.

Terrible experience for such a mission-critical service.

Anyone has suggestions on how to deal with this to restore access?

PS: I did not sent out any spam or do anything that goes against their ToS. Just a loyal customer for 7 years doing normal day to day emailing.
> Another tip: Don't do a "domain availability check" until you're ready to buy the domain. I did that once and someone else, seeing I did the request, grabbed the domain. It turns out that the list of "domain availability checks" are sold to squatters.

Use gandi.net for these check, since, much like they slogan says: they're "no bullshit".
I agree with the other replies in that I don't think the quality of Reddit has necessarily gone down, you just have to look in the right places. You probably can't get the deep discussions that you initially could, but on the other side of the coin you also can't get the vast amount of new content that you might've never come across.

You certainly do need to hide away from the top level stuff and find the sub-reddits which you can tolerate. For example, the sports reddits are awesome forums for me to visit, but the design and web design ones rarely grab my attention.

With a community of any size that can grow infinitely it is going to be tough to maintain quality. With that being said I created a site that tries something a bit different where you can only follow 150 people and the content you see are the links and posts those 150 people comment on.

This doesn't limit the amount of content you can see because the 150 people in your network will be following their own set of people and so forth so the good content should spread naturally throughout the site. In essence I guess you could think of it as a mix between HN and Twitter where you get to curate the content based on who you follow.

It's called Dunbargo if anyone is interested in checking it out: https://dunbargo.com

There are two restrictions that might not sit well with the HN crowd, but things I put in place to manage quality:

1. You have to connect to LinkedIn just so the site can get your real name.
2. The people you invite you are stuck with forever. This means you can't just toss around your invites without any thought, but instead have to consider if the person you are going to invite will actively do a good job contributing to your stream.

These guidelines make it so the site isn't for everybody, but then again I'm not trying to create a place for everybody.
> Here in Canada we have a much more open immigration policy

"Much more open" is a relative term, I suppose. I am a Canadian citizen, born in Canada with all my family (save my wife) living in Canada. I live in Japan with my wife who is Japanese. A few years ago my wife wanted to move to an English speaking country so that she could improve her English and live abroad.

I'll just be plain. It was easier for me to get a visa for myself and my wife to work in the UK than it was to get a visa for my wife in Canada. Had we decided to go to Canada, she would have had to come on a tourist visa. She would have no health care coverage, nor ability to work. After 6 months she would have to apply for an extension to her tourist visa on humanitarian grounds. Her application would be reviewed by a single border guard and could be denied for any or no reason. There is no right of appeal. If her application is denied, she would be barred from entering Canada again thereafter. If she is granted the extension, then she gets another 6 months. After the 6 months are up, she gets to apply for another extension on humanitarian grounds with the same restrictions. After a total of 18 months (and after paying $1500 for the application plus submitting all of our emails together for the last 3 years plus pictures of us together for the last 3 years), she might be granted permanent residence status.

That's for my wife!

In constrast Japan gave me a 3 year working visa after seeing the paperwork showing that we were married. The application was free and took 1 week to process. I can renew after 3 years. The last time I renewed my visa in Japan (before I was married) they just wanted to know if I was still working and after that gave me a renewal (the entire process took 1 hour and cost the equivalent of $60). After 5 years in the country I can apply for permanent residence status (which is similarly rubber-stampy). In the meantime I get national health care insurance and even a pension. (Note: citizenship is generally difficult to get in Japan, though. You must live in Japan for at least 10 years and you must show that you have integrated with the community).

Having said all that, being an immigrant myself I feel that immigration is a privilage not a right. If a country doesn't want immigrants, then that's their business. If you come on a student visa, or on a work visa that is intended to fill gaps in the local economy, then you are expected to return to your home country some day. That's just the way it is.

I feel for the guy because I would be devastated if Japan decided not to renew my visa for some reason. I love living here. I hope they invite me to stay permanently, but I still think that it's Japan's right to decide what they want to do.

Regardless of the compiler, let's say (x << 3) is slightly more efficient than (x * 8), I don't see it make such difference since my job will probably be writing code for webapp sort of things. For the things I do I actually believe readability advantage of (x * 8) overcomes the efficiency disadvantage (which doesn't even exist with modern compiler).

Some interviewers (not just the "homework") raise their bar by not allowing you to make any tiny mistake. And I just don't get it. If someone is good enough to write something like a lite version of Hacker New website in hours, I'm not going to turn him/her down because of such mistake.
America hasn't bankrupted itself "raising the children of others". America has accepted others into its family, and grown stronger and wealthier because of it.

Thomas Paine: immigrant

Andrew Carnegie: immigrant

Nikola Tesla: immigrant

Igor Sikorsky: immigrant

Albert Einstein: immigrant

Elon Musk: immigrant

America is a nation of immigrants. They have helped define our identity, our values, and our laws from the very beginning, and they have built and enriched America to an incalculable degree. And not just inconsequential parts of America, entire industries have been founded on their work (Tesla, Sikorsky, Shockley), and historic, nation-defining projects have relied on their work (Paine, Alexander Hamilton, Von Braun). Immigrants are Americans, period.

It's the culture than enables the money.

If you were to beam all the Americans into space and them beam all the Mexicans into their place, they wouldn't magically achieve US levels of income just because of their physical location.
The equation of commission/OTE = FYE/TAM seems highly arbitrary. Why does the % of sales I close correlate to the % of my at-risk income?

Wouldn't a more direct equation be quota = FYE/TAM ?

If you're expecting your reps to close 20% of the leads they get, then set their quotas accordingly. Don't reduce their commission base - you're running a very real risk of dramatically under compensating your star performers, and overcompensating your dullards.

Quick example - Joe Slimeball only closes half the business he should, but he would W2 (according to your numbers) 67.5k. Sally Awesome manages to find a few extra customers and makes sure they are happy with your product (yeah - sales people should be doing that too, it's not all about the tech, there's a human side to FYE) so she closes 30% of her leads. Her take home (depending on accelerators) would be 82.5k-90k.

3x the performance, and a few $$ extra? That's great way to lose your best reps to other companies, and encourage the rest to idle along at minimum effort levels.
