The elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about - because they get attacked for it- is that many of the cyclist deaths involving HGVs were the fault of the cyclist, e.g. http://road.cc/content/news/106227-coroner-dr-katharine-gile...

We should not have such different kinds of vehicles sharing the same road in the first place. The solution is not gimmicks but more dedicated bike paths.

Incidentally, one of the speakers in the video is from Malmö, Sweden. I lived there for a year, and it is by far one of the best biking cities that I know. And not because they hand out reflective sprays.

$12k extra income does not mean $1k extra disposable income per month, because you have to pay tax on it. And then you have to account for increased rent in high-earning areas for the same amount of space.

Someone I know recently told of moving in and out of London over a five-year period. They were very fortunate in being able to buy their house there, because the house price rise was greater than their total salary income over that period. They earned more by being a homeowner (ie leveraged property investor) than by working. And in the UK you don't have to pay capital gains tax on your primary residence.

Looking from the OEM's perspective, if they didn't need to add the Maxim part to BOM, it gives them a better profit margin. If the OEM manufactures 1,000,000 USB devices, that could result in a extra profit of $760, (Based on the back of envelope calculations).

Edit: Corrected the maths, thanks Syi.
Very interesting, you are correct. Thanks for this reply. My experience has always been in the world of 'performance is king', it's easy for me to lose sight of the idea that systems do exist in which such a limit is beneficial.
An Ethernet segment per road, interesting -- gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "collision domain"!
Yeah, I'm thinking now that I was totally out of my element and a little foolish with my original comment. Were you developing console games or PC games? I'm guessing console as my impression is that fixed frame rates are much more common in the console world.
Don't fret. Everything that comes out of DC's head makes most ppl say, 'what?'.
Certainly! I noticed is assertion and was confused - until I checked the year. Then I listed some of the points relating to my confusion. What is apparent is that I am just missing some historical context. At some point, as the author asserts, Ruby appears to have been a more academic/corporate(?) language than Java. I did not know that.

It matters both a lot more, and a lot less, for startups (than traditional companies).

More: a startup doesn't have the resources to just throw bodies at a problem, or have a dedicated dev or two working on a non-core product. Picking the wrong language + ecosystem can ruin a project.

Less: Startups are make or break. If you break then who cares about the long term cost of code maintainance? If you make it then you can easily absorb the long term costs. E.g. If choosing php in the early days cost Facebook an extra 100 man-years worth of effort in the long term its a minor blip. 100 man-years is nothing to a company the size of Facebook.
Ask HN: A company might want to acquire an old project of mine. What do I do?
Hi HN,

A company recently got in touch with me to discuss a project I previously built which they are considering integrating with their current app.

There is no team on the project, just the code base. I'm not sure how these situations work! How much would one expect to sell their code (or 'idea') for?

The company is in a competitive market where differentiation is important which my product would offer.

The two people leading the negotiations are not extremely technical from my initial reading.

Thank you for any thoughts.
The car requirement was a bit evil? 2008 foor door at one point, until they decided to lure Lyft drivers? 'Don't have the right car(on a ever changing list); 'we'll get you a good deal on a new Prius!' ( I know a guy who ruined his credit, and lost a huge down payment because he couldn't make what Uber said he would make with that new Prius. Yes--he was busy on Friday nights driving drunks from bar to bar, but their was not enough work to keep that Prius.)

Obviously accidents taken in aggregate are not 100% the fault of any single side. I would challenge your "many" statement, especially when you link to an article about one accident. Do you have other citations or sources that indicate this?

But yes, everyone needs to be careful. However, the important distinction is that a careless cyclist is a danger primarily to themselves, while a careless motor vehicle operator is a danger to others on the road more than to themselves.

Windows XP was published in October 2001. The latest Service Pack (SP3) was published in April 2008.

RHEL 6.2 was released in December 2011. So even the latest XP release is 3.5 years older than RHEL 6.2 (which does recognize USB drives quite fine).
completely agree about the name - would love to use this at the office.
Yeah, the big number on the right is the number of currently active users (you can pick which metric you want though). On the left you get two other metrics, like users, new users, page views, conversions, etc.

I studied astronomybat caltech.

The valedictorian of the other high school didnt get an interview.

The valedictorian of my high school didnt apply.

I totally blew off high school to do my own thing.

However I was crushed that I was not accepted to MIT.

I didnt apply to stanford. I expect I would have gotten in but didnt think we could afford it. In reality stanford is so expensive so people like me can get great financial aid.

Caltech was quite cheap for a private school no doubt because it is small but with a hufe endowment.
...closely followed by "why after 3 days of on/off trying can't I get my bluetooth headset working under Windows 8.1"

/Got it working once, for an afternoon.
I spent a week pulling apart our old build scripts (which were dysfunctional) and putting it all back together again with something new. I'd have done almost the same amount of work if I had stuck with make. In fact I spent two days doing just that prior to my redo adventure: I gave redo a whole day, and found I'd achieved a lot very quickly despite never having used it before. So I completed my spring cleaning with redo.

Edit: I'm not singing redo's praises because I think the world should stop using make; fundamentally redo has potential scaling issues for very large codebases, but for the other 99.9% of projects if you want to explore an alternative, you could do much worse than djb redo.
Cool! Should be treated more like art than a tool...
Thanks for the context, I really didn't understand why that showed up on the front page :)
I understand why it's there, but it's a "systematic" warning appearing every time and which does not give the cause, only that there is an issue. Which means people learn to ignore it, case in point my brother and father.

Also it gets triggered by the dumbest of things, eg my linux laptop does not unmount it in a way that windows 8 consider good enough. At the very least windows itself could/should "clean slate" (aka unmount remount I guess) the thumb every once in a while if there has been activity followed by no activity and no opened descriptors for a few minutes since that would cover a majority of the cases.
There were many versions of Red Hat before the RHEL run started. I believe that's what GP was talking about.

Apple and other "major retailers" are pulling anything that includes the Confederate flag as content from their stores because, as we well know, the best way to respond to intolerance is to bury our heads in the sand.
You've added a few too many 0's to that, the savings for 1,000,000 USB devices would only be $760 which would definitely be worth it for customer satisfaction.
Where there's multiple crashes in the same place it often is the road design that's at fault, not the drivers of the cars.

One vaguely relevant example is that roundabouts are safer than 4-way crossings for cars, though I think the evidence is a bit more mixed for cyclists.
I tried some old RHL and other Linux installs on qemu a while back, and it's hit and miss if they even work -- mostly miss in fact. (Back to RHEL 3 you're OK, RHL <= 7 didn't work). It seems qemu only emulates devices enough to work with modern Linux device drivers, which is natural because that's all most people test.
As much as Apple's decision is highly contestable, I don't know if it is worth trying to make a PR coup by implicitly backing a racist flag. I know I personally wouldn't want to be remembered as being that guy. Anyway, well done Valve, I guess, stick it it to big bad Apple.

Edit: to illustrate my point a bit more I think there is a difference between simply proposing a game with historical flags in your store, which I think should always be allowed, and putting a controversial subject in front of your store for PR purpose. For me it's like saying: see, see in our store we have games with controvertial flags - come buy our games. I'm not confortable with that. Maybe I'm wrong though.
"heritable" is the weasel word here. It is applied when the kid matches the parents - but the leap from there to "genetic" is unwarranted, because parents and their children tend to be in the same social circumstances.

For comparison, the Flynn effect demonstrates you can get 20-30 points difference in the same gene pool, with the difference being social circumstances. So any difference under 30 points doesn't necessitate invoking genetics.
Nice. Though, from a finance perspective, my daily nightmare is in the sharing piece - not in the analysis piece - of my job. Sharing numbers in spreadsheets and consolidations is a deep un-solved pain in the finance world. But I do see this solution as a potential fix for the many pivot functionalities shortfalls.
Of course not all of them, motor users do much more stupid things on roads, but a) they need to pass an exam and actually know the traffic laws; b) they can loose a driving license and pay high fines; c) they pay insurence and d) even when in accident, the chance of major injuries is radically lower than when riding a bike. Cyclists, on the other hand, don't give a shit and ride however they want. If we allow cyclist on roads, why not allow skateboarders or rollerbladers - what's the difference?
Flynn Effect gets you 20-30 points in the same gene pool, therefore via non-genetic factors.

If you see a 15 point difference and immediately attribute it to genetics, you're making an unwarranted assumption.
Do I understand correctly that this is proprietary (closed-source) software, even though it's hosted on GitHub? This repository seems to contain two binary blobs without source code.
The only reason I could think of is the firmware is not performing writes the way the OS expects them to.
All this seems like a slightly more socially accepted way of hating yourself and cutting your forearms.

It's not a surprise to see goths in every single video/article about body hacking. Whether they operate safely or not is not a concern, because obviously this isn't about research or science, or becoming a cyborg by sticking wires up your ass.

Its about making a fashion statement in the club and drawing attention. And while not every goth person or community is like that, it is a very prevailing characteristic.

As much as I hate the Reservation system in Indian colleges, I wouldn't call that 'racism'. They are two different things. They are trying to _mitigate_ the effects of a possible racism by doing this. Just that they don't understand they have to give that reservation advantage to them really early in life - not while admitting students for Doctor and Engineer degrees.
To analyze if ISP's are more likely to be malicious than Tor exit node, you need to list all the number of attacks and determine which is more likely.

An ISP employee know whom either side of an connection are and can pick and chose targets in a very selective way. As gate keepers they can also be influenced by outsiders to target specific users and attack them. They are however likely to get caught if they do noticeable attacks and risks their job if its unsanctioned, and risk the companies reputation if it is sanctioned.

A Tor operator can not see whom is doing the connection, but they are slightly less likely to get caught if they do try to attack users. They are also only going to lose the nodes ip address reputation if they are caught attacking users.

Third is the backbone networks that unlike the ISP level has great incentives for government level attackers to collect whole nations/continents amount of data. The risk that they are found out is almost zero, and if they are they can still deny it.

All in all, I would summarize in such a way that ISP's has the greater risk of active attacks by both criminal actors and government level actors, backbone networks for passive attacks by government level actors, and tor nodes for passive attacks by criminal actors. In order to protect against all three you got to use end-to-end encryption as the primary security technique and adding tor helps then against meta data attacks.
Edit: I misunderstood parent comment when crafting the below response.

> a racist flag

I'm curious, should all WW2 games be removed because of the facist swastika flag? Or games involving the cold war because of the communist flag with the Soviet Union? In both cases, atrocities that were an affront to humanity occurred with millions perishing in various camps.

Which brings up another question: Why stop at video games? Board games physically print these symbols that could be taken offensively. I ask because I have Axis & Allies and Twilight Struggle sitting on a shelf right here, but don't consider myself facist, nor communist, nor insensitive. I don't have a civil war board game but I bet they physically print those symbols too.
Never had that problem here; maybe it's some of the intermediate hardware, or the ocmbination thereof with the keyaboard, which is the actual culprit?

Japan finally lifts its 67-year-old ban on dancing
Personally I think the guy is a moron. If he wasn't banging his head so hard he might realize it's reasonably priced and he can save all the corporate hassle by purchasing it himself.
I have a ThinkPad Compact USB keyboard at work and a ThinkPad at home (although the external version has a terrible controller/firmware, TrackPoint scrolling is hard in Linux. I've mapped it to right click + TrackPoint because otherwise I'd get spurious paste events when trying to scroll).

The main reason to use this keyboard for me is the trackpoint - my hands never leave the home row (I have arrow keys and a num pad on layer 4, see http://neo-layout.org/ (mouse over the "Ebene 4" button).

This really does make it hard for me to user other machines, you're right about that (although every linux distro ships neo, and for windows there is a no-installation-required autohotkey-based executable). But I'm not using other machines enough to make any compromises there. 99% of the time I'm using my machines, and that's what I've optimised for.

> normally the value of a house climb faster than inflation

"Normally" when? In what conditions?

Japan's house prices have been falling for more than 20 years now.

I guess someone should buy the cheap Detroit houses then, they can only go up in price.

> Companies prefer to have variable cost and reduce minimum fixed cost.

I don't disagree with this (though it is increasing their minimum operating cost)
First, you are trying to argue that your personal experience and anecdotes should dictate the policy of a large group of software deployments. I don't think that's true, regardless of your position.

Second, you think that the cost of breakage and inconvenience is around equal to the cost of a serious malevolent attack. I disagree. I'd rather experience an issue a month where a program crashes and I have to install an update, if the alternative is someone getting access to my bank account, credit cards, or even personal, sensitive information that could harm me if taken out of context and made public.

Third, I think the reason you don't experience as many malevolent attacks is precisely because many, many PC users keep their systems updated, and the cost/reward for the attackers is low. If every single PC user had your attitude, and no one updated, the first CVE from Windows that was easy to exploit remotely (either via the network, or email + images, or whatever) would result in a skyrocket of successful attacks.

And finally, my own anecdotal evidence is in stark contrast to yours - I relatively rarely get any sort of library or system stability issues from keeping my systems up-to-date, but I have been attacked before, and it is a much larger inconvenience to get new credit cards, monitor my credit reports, and install counter-measures to prevent it from happening again.

That post is like nobody there has ever heard the phrase "don't fall in love with your model".

Quite a lot of LessWrong posts are of the theme "my model gives this counterintuitive result" - the trouble is they go on to "AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT!!" rather than "hmm, maybe my model needs work."
The problem is that this will only be used by those bikers who already care about their safety and behave according to traffic rules.

The fucktards driving at night in full-black clothing, without lights and reflectors, music blasting in their ears and wearing no helmet on the road, instead of the bike lanes, will not take notice of the spray (or the fact that their behavior is endangering themselves).

Now guess which group of bikers gets hit by cars more often?

(Disclaimer: I had multiple last-second-saves with said fucktards while peacefully driving around)
>It is insane to consider nuclear a safer choice than solar and wind.

It isn't.

Nuclear is by far the safest choice, of the given, It account for 17% of electricity output and when you look at deaths per Kwh it's the safest source of energy, bar none.

Nuclear energy is the airplane of transportation. Safest form we invented yet, but when things go wrong, which rarely happens it makes for a better news.
2. Cost sharing only operates in a very limited window of income. One must also buy a Silver plan which costs more (offsetting some of the cost share) and these plans are highly restricted to in-network doctors and hospitals.

3. And the effect is to destroy family bonds.

4. It's not just about seeing a doctor, but the additional costs. Do you know the average doctor has 7 minutes per patient per visit in order to be profitable?

5. People who work 35 years soon get Medicare. For everyone else one still has to contend with getting new coverage when one leaves their job.

6. That makes it okay to institutionalize? You missed the word "unfairly". The ACA goes beyond what is natural. We are going to tax 18 year olds to pay for grandmom's $500,000 cancer medicine so she can live an extra 4 months?
"Eventually your network traffic leaves Tor's safe embrace via an exit node" Not necessarily. Tor has an internal only network of websites that do not have this vulnerability.
Point D is absolutely ludicrous. You think the chance of major injury in a cycling accident is HIGHER than a car accident? Are you mad?

Is “neural reconfiguration generated by extended internet usage” a real phenomenon, or is that just a clever turn-of-phrase for reading?
Agree. My point was changing driver/cyclist behaviour is not victim blaming, but a valid approach to solving the problem.

Road Design, car design, culture, etc are all valid factors as well.
Nothing imo, it's historic facts. But what is wrong imo is using the situation for PR purpose.

Fonts can have ligatures, which represent several letters as a single glyph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_ligature).

There are several common ones for letter combinations like "oe" - perhaps this font simply registers longer ones for whole words?

Edit: if you're on a mac, download the .zip file and double-click on one of the .otf font files. It will open in Font Book: View->Show Font Info says it hs 451 glyphs, and View->Repertoire shows that there are indeed glyphs representing each of the censored words.
